Abu Dhabi Ports launches Smart Container Initiative

Abu Dhabi Ports has launched the Smart Container Initiative to house its digital solutions in a resilient, safe and optimised eco-friendly mobile environment.

The solar-panelled steel and aluminium smart container uses environmentally friendly technologies such as in-row cooling, renewable energy and efficient space allocation in order to reduce power usage effectiveness by more than 20% and cut carbon emissions in half.

Part of Abu Dhabi Ports’ ongoing digital transformation drive, the prefabricated containerised data centre runs a wide range of applications including port and terminal operating systems, visitor passes and other digital customer services.
