Load and unload cargo ships more efficiently than with cranes. The time it takes to unload a cargo ship could take up to 30 days utilizing cranes and cranes are limited to being close to the shore. Every minute the ship is sitting outside of the pier not being unloaded or loaded money is lost. What if there was a way to reach cargo ships while they are near land but not necessarily docked in the pier.
Increasing efficiency from taking the containers off cargo ships quicker with drones allows for more ships to enter the limited number of piers. Ships spend more time traveling than being idle and waiting to be unloaded or loaded.
