Port automation, surprisingly, is a bone of contention in the mecca of all things tech - the United States of America (U.S.). Not surprisingly, not a single U.S. port is among the Top 50 ports ranked by the World Bank based on 2023 performance.

Trump, ILA, USMX - will automation happen at U.S. East Coast ports?

Answer depends on your view point - ports/carriers want it for more business, workers say they fear job losses.

U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump met International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) President Harold Daggett and Executive Vice President Dennis Daggett, and came out in support of port workers in their negotiations on automation with United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) representing carriers and port operators.
