- PTI-TBA has recently unveiled its virtual reality training portal for the terminals in order to empower staff with the appropriate skills to flourish in a terminal environment.
- HHI and SK Shipping will provide technological mentoring services and smart ship platforms for the to-be-developed software while UCCEI and DCCEI hold briefing sessions on technology demand for shipbuilders and shipping liners to encourage the participation of the ICT companies.
