On February 25, 2026, at 09:20, the Shanghai Port’s “Smart Port” initiative, led by the core team “Zhang Jingming,” was discussed in a market briefing held via the Xinmei Financial App.
Located at the Shanghai Port, surrounded by sea and connected by waterways, the “Smart Port” project aims to enhance operational efficiency through advanced technology and automation. The project includes the deployment of Autonomous Transport Robots (ART) for seamless operations.
As part of the initiative, the port plans to implement a “Digital Twin” system, which will enable real-time monitoring and management of port operations. The system aims to improve the efficiency of container handling, with a goal of handling over 2,400 million standard containers by 2025, and increasing the shipping lines to 150.
The “Smart Port” project emphasizes high performance and precision. As part of the initiative, the team expressed their commitment to improving operational efficiency by integrating smart technologies and optimizing transport routes.
According to the latest data, the port’s operational metrics show a 12.3% increase in container throughput, with the overall handling capacity constrained at 7.1%. The ART systems have reported a 6.7% reduction in operational time.
The leadership at Shanghai Port has been proactive in addressing challenges associated with the implementation of smart technologies. They are working towards a solution to enhance ART’s capabilities and efficiency. The project is seen as a transformative approach to modern logistics management.
In summary, the Port of Shanghai’s “Smart Port” initiative represents a significant step towards modernization and efficiency in port operations, aiming to set new benchmarks in logistics and transportation.
