The Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria, Frederik Klinke, has said embracing technology can increase the capacity and efficiency of the ports.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Nigerian Ports and Trade Investment Forum 2023 held in Lagos, Klinke said technology can help build collaboration between government agencies and the private sector to find common solutions to the challenges facing supply chain in the country.
He said APM Terminals has deployed software solutions that allow customers to interact with its staff online, thereby reducing physical interactions at the port.
“We are rolling out customer-centric solutions globally at APM Terminals, which allow an increased feasibility between what happens in Nigeria and other ports. The next frontier for us is to enable the connectivity between our systems, customs, other governmental agencies and customers that need to have visibility on the containers before they come into the country,” Klinke said.
