China seeks to consolidate its leadership in port automation through the development of smart terminals, artificial intelligence, and digital solutions for logistics management. Currently, it has 60 automated terminals and plans to expand this number to 90 by 2030, strengthening its presence in the international maritime sector.
Its advancements include remotely operated crane systems, autonomous trucks, and digital platforms to optimize port operations. Chinese companies such as Westwell and Huawei are also driving the expansion of these technologies in international markets, with implementations in ports in the United Kingdom, Brazil, and other countries.
The strategy includes investments in port infrastructure and equipment, as well as the development of systems for terminal management and customs processes. These initiatives also involve aspects related to technological dependence, commercial information management, and China's participation in international supply chains.
