We got up early to head to Rotterdam as I’d registered us for a tour of a container terminal as part of World Port Days. Ashlynn, who brought along her friend Masha, and Veronica were skeptical, but even they admitted it was really cool to see in action one of the most sophisticated, fully-automated container terminals in the world. We got to witness the whole process from the container being removed from the big rig truck (which is currently done with human assistance) to the loading of the deep sea vessels by automated cranes. It was definitely worth waking up early for.
