Today, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, together with technology partners Akkodis, VDL, and Medrepair (Medrepair is part of MedlogSA, belonging to MSC), presented a live demonstration of a next-generation logistics solution designed to transform intra-terminal container transport: an autonomous, fully electric shuttle that enhances operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability in port environments. The demonstration—held at the Medrepair terminal as part of the PIONEERS project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme —offered stakeholders from across the logistics and maritime industries a first-hand look at a deployable innovation built for the demands of modern port operations. Developed to address the increasing complexity of internal container movements, the shuttle system automates short-distance transfers between key operational areas—such as warehouses, stacks, and gates—reducing the need for traditional diesel-powered vehicles and manual handling. Equipped with intelligent navigation software and high-resolution sensors, the platform autonomously follows a predefined route while ensuring full operational visibility through a central Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
