Right, espionage by harbour cranes, of course.

We already know which ship carries what cargo from where to where, where the ship currently is and what is the direction it is sailing. We know everything about the cargo, what it is, where and when it was loaded with what - and later where and when it was discharged.

What surprise element would anyone expect from a crane reporting home, that cargo has actually been loaded or discharged from a ship? Has everyone gone nutters?

Remotely enabling/disabling port equipment: If you connect your crane to the internet for unknown reasons, a gifted script-kiddie can do that.
