Container volumes are estimatedby
industry-watchers togrow in coming years at a
pace that will outstrip terminals’ ability to cope
with them. Ports inmanufacturingmarkets,
particularly those in the Far East, areworking
hard togenerate capacity to ensure theymeet
this continued strongdemand, while in the
consumermarkets of Europe and theUS, the
challenge is to avoid congestion as thiswave
of goods arrives. Terminals in these destination
markets have limited scope to expand capacity,
andmust focus on improvedproductivity to
meet growingdemand and avoid the delays
that canhave a damagingdomino-effect on the
entire supply chain.
As economiesdevelop, gatewayportsmust
evolve too. Connectivityneeds tobeenhanced,
