Series: ADB Data Room: Green and Resilient Ports in Southeast Asia Automation for Operational Efficiency and Safety 20 August 2026 Ports are under growing pressure to move goods faster, manage disruptions, and maintain strong safety performance. The webinar brought together international and regional experts to share practical lessons on how automation could improve operational efficiency and safety in Southeast Asian ports. The discussion explored autonomous transport, system integration and data interoperability, and how operational data could help ports identify and prioritize automation investments. It also considered practical approaches for ports at different stages of their automation journey. This was the tenth session in the Green Ports Webinar Series, organized by the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility (ACGF) and hosted by the Southeast Asia Development Solutions platform and Development Asia of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). ACGF, an ASEAN Infrastructure Fund initiative, supported governments across Southeast Asia in preparing and financing infrastructure projects that advanced environmental sustainability and strengthened climate resilience. ACGF was owned by ASEAN governments and ADB.
