Ports & Terminals

At the Navis 2019 conference in San Francisco, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co Ltd (ZPMC), the world's largest port machinery manufacturer, sees automated ports as the key to its long-term growth.

On a normal day, 42 tankers, 19 freighters, 391 barges, 128 ferries and 2 cruise ships will move through the Houston Ship Channel. On any given day, a few of those tankers will be as long as 10 football fields.

Navis, the Oakland, CA-based terminal operations software provider, announced a new product, 'Navis Smart,’ at the Navis 2019 conference taking place in San Francisco this week.
