(Yicai Global) July 29 -- The Xiamen Ocean Gate Container Terminal, China's first fully automated port terminal located in southeastern Fujian province, has become the world's first container terminal that uses fifth-generation wireless networks in its operation.

China Mobile's Xiamen branch and the operator of Xiamen Ocean Gate Container Terminal have covered the area with 5G to boost service reliability and security, Xiamen Daily reported today. Next, the two will explore opportunities in autopilot, remote control, and registration of foreign ships.

COSCO Shipping Technology joined the pair to launch a pilot 5G driver behavior management application to improve the efficiency of transport in the cargo terminal.

The Xiamen Ocean Gate Container Terminal, located in the Haicang Bonded Port Area, was opened in 2011. The terminal has the maximum berthing capacity of 200,000 tons and an annual designed throughput of 2.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units.
