Eivind Kolding, CEO, Maersk Line, give the keynote speech at the TOC Europe 2011 Conference: 

One of the busiest sessions was a special State of the Industry Forum hosted by The Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA).

Running for a full afternoon on the opening day of TOC Europe, the forum featured five panels discussing the shape of the industry today and what to expect in the near future for terminal automation, including Automated Cranes, Real Time Data Capture and Telemetrics, Automated Horizontal Transport, Application Software and Complex IT Project Integration.

LASSTEC and Total Soft Bank (TSB) are entering a marketing collaboration agreement whereby TSB will offer the LASSTEC load sensing system to their existing and new customers. 

LASSTEC on the other hand will also promote TSB’s TOS systems to their customers. Terminals frequently require LASSTEC to feed the load data into their TOS system. 

The collaboration with TSB will further help operators to accomplish this task.  With the IMO having agreed to evaluate the possibility of making the weighing of containers compulsory, the requirement of feeding the load data into the terminal’s TOS system will become an even wider requirement.  TSB and LASSTEC’s collaboration will cater for this need. 

Konecranes won the prize for achieving the most pre-registered visitors in the co-marketing tools 'competition' open to all exhibitors.

At the event; Marketing Manager, Suzanne Tiago, and Marketing Executive Caroline Hunt presented Cindy Shi, Marketing Specialist, and Tuomas Saastamoinen, Sales & Marketing Director from Konecranes with a bottle of champagne to show TOC's appreciation for all Konecrane's hardwork and commitment to the event.
