Abu Dhabi Terminals, in the presence of Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, UAE Ministry of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has announced a partnership agreement with Microsoft that heralds the next phase in the digital transformation of Abu Dhabi?s flagship maritime asset, Khalifa Port

The partnership will enable enhanced container tracking and autonomous shuttle capabilities across Abu Dhabi Terminal?s Khalifa Port terminal through the deployment of Artificial Intelligence Services of Azure, Microsoft?s Cloud. 

Abu Dhabi Terminals is the management company and operator of Khalifa Port Container Terminal (KPCT), the region?s first, and one of the world?s largest semi-automated deep-water container terminals. KPCT is also one of the most technically advanced facilities of its kind. 

The technology, deployed in partnership with Microsoft Consulting Services, will fuel the introduction of AI-based container smart tracking solutions that will ensure 100% traceability of all handled containers, as well as the potential to launch an autonomous vehicle system. 

Ralph Haupter, president, Microsoft EMEA, said, ?With its ongoing commitment to the adoption of new technologies, the UAE is reimagining the world of global shipping and logistics to ensure it is robust, resilient and future-ready. This collaboration ushers in a new era for autonomous vehicles in a terminal environment, and I?m excited to see Microsoft?s cloud, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies contribute to its success.?

Ahmed Al Mutawa, the CEO, Abu Dhabi Terminals, said, ?By driving innovation through the implementation of Artificial Intelligence and automation, Abu Dhabi Terminals is committed to modernising our port environment, while also dramatically reducing our carbon footprint, and costs, as well as turnaround times for those accessing Khalifa Port. 

?The support of the UAE Ministry of AI and our partnerships with world-leading technology providers such as Microsoft Corporation, not only future proofs our nation?s maritime assets and infrastructure, but enables Abu Dhabi Terminals, and our shareholders at Abu Dhabi Ports, to reap tremendous long-term benefits as we continue this exciting digital transformation journey.?
