The shipment to Prince Rupert is part of a larger string of contracts signed between DP World and the French manufacturer, a tour of the the Gaussin website and Facebook page offers up an interesting glimpse into the future of world port operations.

Among some of the projects currently being completed by the French firm is the prospect of autonomous vehicles being introduced into service, with the Port of Singapore set to be the first to test out the new system of transporting containers.
