Furthermore, Riia Sillave, the CEO of HHLA TK Estonia, showed the Federal Minister the digital agenda of the terminal. At the Muuga terminal, several innovative projects are tested and carried out like teleoperated terminal driving, fully automated gate system or recovery of counter-flow energy of the harbour cranes. The terminal is an ideal place for HHLA to test smart solutions for other terminals across Europe.
