Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ) has expanded its strategic partnership with US-based Kaleris to accelerate AI-led transformation across its global network of 15 container terminals in 9 ports. This collaboration is part of APSEZ's broader 2030 objectives, which include an investment of USD 850 million in decarbonisation and technology upgrades, aiming for a cargo handling capability of one billion tonnes per annum.
The multi-year agreement will see Kaleris deploy its foundational terminal operating system and AI-augmented advanced container handling and optimisation solutions. Building on initial deployments across six ports, APSEZ will now scale advanced operating, planning, optimisation, and automation capabilities across its maritime and logistics network. This unified digital backbone is expected to enhance efficiency, consistency, and end-to-end visibility.
The deployment of Kaleris’ Advanced Optimization is projected to yield significant efficiency gains, including up to a 20% improvement in Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) crane productivity and up to a 14% improvement in terminal truck productivity. APSEZ aims to unlock 91 million metric tonnes (MMT) of additional capacity by 2030 through this partnership.
