These automated operational and handling systems require a higher capital cost than conventional terminals\, but may bring benefits like improved productivity\, lower labour and operating costs\, and a greater degree of safety and reliability. \nPlanning for automation is becoming a natural process in the transition towards more sustainable and resilient supply chains. \nPIANC recently issued Working Group Report No.208 – Planning for Automation of Container Terminals.  \nThis seminar will be presented by several authors of the report who will analyse state-of-the-art and best practices when planning for automation in container terminals. \nThe aim is to provide an outline of PIANC Report 208 with advice and guidance for port stakeholders in the planning process and the specific considerations with regards to automation. It will create an opportunity for different stakeholders to discuss and exchange the ideas surrounding the automation of container terminals in Australia. \nSpeakers: \nTom Ward – Director US Maritime Planning\, WSP \nCarsten Varming – Port Development Manager\, NSW Ports \nTom Crawford-Condie – Principal Maritime Engineer\, WSP \nMichael Houen – Director\, Smart Port Strategy\, Hatch \n  \nTime Zone is AEST 5pm.
