[H4] Felixstowe has a proud record of industry leadership and innovation.
From being the first port in the UK to embrace containerisation in the 1960s, to the development of the world’s first Port Community System in the 70’s and 80’s through to the UK’s first mega-vessel berths in the 2010’s and the deployment of Autonomous Trucks in the 2020’s.

[H3] Automated Trucks
The port is the first in Europe and one of the first in the world to deploy Automated Trucks in a mixed traffic environment. Equipped with innovative battery-changing technology, the AI-driven trucks will increase the efficiency and operational consistency of container handling as well as making a significant contribution to decarbonising operations at the port.

[H3] Semi-Automated Remote Controlled Cranes
Port of Felixstowe has integrated semi-automated remote-controlled ship-to-shore and yard cranes into port operations. Deployed on Berths 8&9 the yard cranes operate in automated mode the majority of time with remote-controlled operation only required for lifting containers to or from vehicles. The new cranes deliver both greater operational efficiency and better working conditions for operators.

[H3] NGen
The Next Generation Terminal Management System (nGen) was developed in-house by Hutchison Ports to increase capacity, service and efficiency. It is scalable across all non-proprietary computer system hardware, from a small feeder terminal operation to large hub ports. nGen and its development approach have been recognised with technology excellence awards and certifications. The latest version of nGen has been modified to work with the semi-automated and remote-control equipment as well as autonomous trucks being deployed at Felixstowe.
