Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex is moving towards an automated future
As part of an efficiency drive the Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex is moving towards an automated future. From next year remote-controlled cranes towering 165 feet overhead will unload containers from vessels, and driverless trucks guided by magnets embedded in the asphalt will carry cargo to robotic hoists in a sorting yard, according to Shipping Gazette.
The push to automate operations comes as America's first and second biggest ports have been losing market share for a decade to the ports of Prince Rupert in British Columbia, and Savannah, Georgia,reported Bloomberg.

洛杉矶-长滩港口群正向自动化方向发展
根据航务周刊报道,作为能效行动的一部分,洛杉矶-长滩港口群正全力向自动化方向发展。从明年开始,远程控制起重机将能在165英尺的高空从船上卸载集装箱。无人驾驶卡车由镶嵌在沥青中的磁体来导航,并将货物送至分拣场由机械自动升降机来进行后续操作。
彭博社报道,由于美国第一、第二大港在过去十年已逐渐失去英国哥伦比亚鲁伯特王子港、萨凡纳港、格鲁吉亚港的市场份额,洛杉矶-长滩港口群便计划全面推动自动化进程。
