  1. Who thinks of these potential problems in the first place? Amazing. What about changing the functioning or capabilities of these cranes to what they can handle WITHOUT having an uplink? So if the units are properly maintained (electronically) with anti-virus etc, then they would not be able to impact the port - or the entire system - or even be shut down. Just less-capable.

  2. I totally agree. As a Canadian, I'm more removed from the impacts of shipping in the US. But as Sal has clearly articulated it is all part of the global system and conundrum - we are all connected. Great idea to get Prof Sal in front of the policy makers in DC! Anything that affects US security, domestically or internationally, ultimately impacts Canada.

  3. I was thinking the same thing! Or if they like the 'analog' aspect of being able to see the load directly - they could certainly come up with a better operators station. Start with your average Gaming Chair, put a tilt mechanism on that and tweak from there. But I agree 100%

  4.  @grooviefan  Care to provide details that confirm that? Why would a Chinese manufacturer of multi-million dollar equipment platforms (that are not portable or transportable and end up all over the world), design and build them with US made programs and OS?
