SPG:pacesetter of global automated container terminals
China DailyIn recent years, major international ports have been stepping up their efforts to achieve automation. Newly established Chinese port business operator, Shandong Port Group in North China, recently found in a worldwide survey of container ports that in the first half of 2020, 51 automated container ports became operational or were currently under construction, of which 22 were Asian ports. SPG officials said that in the current year the novel coronavirus outbreak has seriously hampered the global economy, but during the same period the group's Qingdao Port Automated Container Terminal broke several handling records, impressing the industry. The construction of SPG's Qingdao Port Automated Container Terminal was also striking. Recently, Qingdao Port Automated Container Terminal Standard System sailed through assessments conducted by experts, marking the establishment of a standard system for automated container terminals.
