Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The smart concept has become an essential function for port organizations to act as intelligent hubs in the global transport network. Recently opened ports are making investments that enable meeting the conditions of smart ports. Ports are introducing ecofriendly energy sources, such as LNG and batteries, in place of diesel fuel. Automation terminals are being built to reduce operating costs and for safe operation. In addition, ports are dramatically changing the way information is gathered, analyzed, predicted, and optimized to accommodate the fourth industrial revolution. This SI aims to discuss all the prerequisites that must be prepared in advance to effectively build smart ports.
