Port Metro Vancouver in British Columbia has introduced its Smart Fleet trucking strategy, a three-year action plan to improve the efficiency and reliability of the container truck sector and reinforce the port’s ongoing collaboration with supply chain partners.
Smart Fleet’s key initiatives include a forum for terminal operators and industry leaders to work openly to solve drayage challenges; the expanded use of GPS communications; the identification of technology-based solutions to improve sustainability; a truck licensing system review to improve performance, safety and environmental standards; a container vessel on-time incentive program; and the continuation of container capacity improvement projects.
“Given that a large proportion of container traffic moves to and from the terminals by truck, improvements to reliability and efficiency are vital,” said Robin Silvester, the port’s president and CEO, in a written statement. “Smart Fleet sets out our action plan to ensure we are maximizing existing capacity and improving operational efficiencies as the gateway grows to service our nation’s trade requirements.”
