Ports and Terminals
Increase Safety and Compliance at Ports and Terminals
Overcapacity, workforce shortages, increasing requirements, and augmented expectations from employees, organizations, and consumers are causing major shifts for ports and terminals in terms of receiving and transferring containers and cargo onto ships, trucks, and trains.
Ports and Terminals Challenges
Across ports and terminals, four key challenges remain constant:
- Workforce Shortages – Employees at ports and terminals often face physically demanding work that leads to increased burnout compared to many other industries. Worker comfort and safety should be a top priority to prevent experienced workers from exiting the industry.
- Safety Compliance – OSHA compliance and worker safety is paramount for businesses in the industry. Compliance issues and infractions lead to unplanned facility downtime and heavy fines, not to mention loss of revenue and extended lead times on cargo waiting to be moved.
- Emissions Regulations – Businesses are facing increased pressure around reducing emissions from local, state, and federal government green initiatives. In addition to lower fuel emissions, many areas are becoming more residential, leading to a call for noise emission regulations.
- Overcapacity – Mega container ships now carry more cargo, leading trucks to be overworked and overused. The more trucks that are worked, the more downtime is required for maintenance, leaving businesses struggling to meet demand with less active equipment available.
