What Drones Do Ports Use for Inspection and Security?
A container terminal is one of the hardest places to fly a drone. Steel structures, moving cranes, heavy radio traffic, salt air, strong sea winds and airspace restrictions all work against it.

In this article we cover which drones are best suited to port use, what sensor payload each task needs, and what a terminal has to have in place on the ground before any of it works.
