5G Era in Maritime Trade with TBH Port Adana

Combining green energy transformation with operational efficiency, the institution has also made a critical technology move in the industrial field. As a result of the partnership established with SANKO Holding, Türkiye's first 5G supported smart port project was commissioned within TBH Port Adana. This step, announced during the COP31 climate summit, will accelerate logistics operations in the port area, reduce operational delays and optimize fuel consumption. The system, which takes digitalization in maritime transportation to the highest level, is the first private network agreement with a port operator in Türkiye. The new generation connection infrastructure increases the competitiveness of the logistics industry by modernizing crane automation, container tracking and instant data transfer processes.
