Norfolk County Council (NCC) have recently announced £6 million of funding to deliver an offshore energy Operations and Maintenance (O&M) campus at the Port of Great Yarmouth.
This crane is able to unload and load containers on board the vessel to the required width, eliminating the need to move the ship at the berth during loading, thus providing much faster cargo handling.
The arrangement involves assistance in the day-to-day management of carbon emissions from the port and the development of methods for electrification, digitalisation and monitoring of energy consumption and emissions at the port.
The British Ports Association has launched a new initiative looking at the implications of autonomous shipping for UK ports, including a call for evidence from interested parties.
