Grebenschikova discussed the development of information technologies in Russian ports, explaining how process automation helps raise their competitiveness, which is especially relevant today as container flows are becoming increasingly unpredictable while supply of shipping companies is evidently exceeding demand. 

Some of the new technologies for raising productivity at ports and terminals include cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service; VGM block for automating container mass verification prior to shipping; berth planning modules, CHE movement optimization to minimize empty runs; new capabilities for managing rail operations including container train planning and others.
