Port Fleet Safety Camera System
Current Safety Situation and Pain Points of Port Operations
Ports and container yards are the core hubs of global trade, undertaking key work such as container transshipment and supply chain connection. Intensive operations of various vehicles and heavy machinery, combined with narrow spaces, high-stacked containers and other factors, lead to prominent potential safety hazards and extremely high requirements for operational safety.
There is no universal safety solution for port operations, and various vehicles face different operational challenges. To safeguard the safety of personnel, goods and infrastructure, customized solutions are essential.
1. High Risks Faced by Port Operation Personnel
Port equipment operators are the frontline force for cargo transshipment. Their daily work involves handling large containers, moving through narrow spaces and coordinating various machinery, resulting in persistently high operational risks.
A 2025 survey by the Lloyd's Register Foundation and Gallup shows that 25% of maritime workers such as dockers have suffered occupational physical injuries in the past two years, far exceeding the global average of 18% across all industries and more than twice that of the public utility industry. The 2025 Maritime Safety Report of the Port of Rotterdam indicates that non-maritime occupational accidents in the port area caused 3 deaths and 2 serious injuries. Statistics from the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in 2025 show a provisional total of 124 work-related deaths across all industries in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, keeping the safety issues of high-risk port operations under continuous attention.
Minor negligence in dock operations can seriously affect personnel safety and operational efficiency. AI camera systems can provide precise vision and insights to support the safe and efficient operation of various vehicles.
Flexible Camera System Adapted to All Types of Operation Vehicles
The port yard environment is complex, with different visual blind spots and operational risks for various vehicles, so safety solutions need to be designed targetedly. A flexible camera system with real-time alerts and 360° vision day and night can help operators work safely in busy ports. The adaptation solutions for various vehicles are as follows:
1. Reach Stacker
Reach stackers are used for rapid container transshipment in yards, often operating in narrow passages and beside high-stacked containers. Blind spots around goods are prone to collisions. A camera system focusing on container stacks and side gaps can provide clear vision and ensure operational safety.
2. Straddle Carrier
Straddle carriers need to travel long distances and lift containers over equipment. Their vehicle height creates obvious rear-side blind spots, making it difficult to detect nearby staff in a timely manner. A multi-angle camera system equipped with AI human body recognition can issue real-time pedestrian alerts, enhance scene perception and reduce the risk of surrounding accidents.
3. Forklift
Forklifts operate in areas close to ground personnel and drive in crowded loading and unloading zones, which are prone to pedestrian contact, obstacle collisions and equipment intersection accidents. A front and rear camera system combined with AI alerts can identify pedestrians and potential safety hazards in real time and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
4. Flatbed Truck
Flatbed trucks are responsible for container transshipment between ports and subsequent destinations, requiring long hours of operation in congested ports and their surrounding areas, even at night, with prominent safety risks. A 360° camera + AI risk detection system can identify operating personnel and vulnerable road users in real time through audio and video alerts in the cab; a driver-facing camera system can monitor fatigue and distracted states to ensure operational concentration.
This camera system solution can be adapted to various port fleets and equipment, reduce visual blind spots, prevent accidents and support safe operations across the entire port.
Comprehensive Port Safety Solution: More Than Just a Camera System
A camera system combined with AI alerts can only address immediate safety risks and is just a part of the port safety solution. YUWEI provides supporting digital management tools to build a complete safety system, including customizable digital checklists, predefined accident reporting processes and a compliance management system.
The above tools enable the recording, tracking and proactive resolution of problems, forming an interconnected safety protection network with the camera system. It not only prevents accidents in real time but also summarizes experience from accidents, helping ports build a long-term safe operation system.
