The largest automated port in the world, Tuas Port in Singapore, hit a major milestone this year. Since its opening in September 2022, the facility has processed 10 million containers with minimal human labor.
The hard work is done by a fleet of more than 200 fast-charging autonomous electric vehicles that can carry up to two 20-foot containers at 15.5 miles per hour. They run from a command center where humans monitor vehicles and cranes displayed on a digital twin of the facility. Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) plans to add at least 200 more of the flatbed vehicles as the port continues to grow.
