Zaporizhstal CEO Rostislav Shurma supports the Chinese experience in high tech development, especially in the sphere of logistics as a tool to decrease corruption.
He has visited the Yangshan Deepwater Port and called it a “port from the future”.
“China has built a port with the capacity of 20 million TEU on an artificial island in the middle of the sea. All Ukrainian ports process less than 1 million TEU. The port is connected to the mainland by a 30km bridge. All the cranes, trolleys and lorries at the Terminal 4 are managed by AI system without any engineer of driver. The terminal with the throughput of 3 million TEU is managed by 8 operators”, he said.
All the transport is operated by electricity.
“No diesel or petrol unit. The electricity is received from hundreds of offshore turbines”, Shurma added. (Ukrainian metal)
