African port operators need to formulate Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) strategies and should take into account the skills readiness and the skills development required to adjust and adapt accordingly, Transnet National Ports Authority research and development senior specialist Thamsanqa Basi said this week. During a presentation at the Southern African Transport Conference, he explained that while the full potential of the 4IR was yet to be realised, particularly in emerging markets, South Africa had a huge advantage, especially considering that simulations and digital skills demand were on the rise.
