Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid advancements in technology have revolutionized various industries, and the maritime sector is no exception. Smart seaports and maritime transport management systems have emerged as key drivers of efficiency, sustainability, and safety in the global shipping industry. These intelligent systems leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, operations research, and automation, to optimize port operations, enhance vessel management, and streamline supply chain logistics.

This Special Issue aims to gather state-of-the-art research and advancements in the field of smart seaport and maritime transport management. Ultimately, it will provide a platform for researchers, academicians, and industry professionals to present their original research, case studies, and innovative solutions addressing the challenges, opportunities, and best practices associated with the implementation and operation of intelligent systems in maritime environments.

Papers are invited on various aspects related to smart seaport and maritime transport management. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Intelligent port infrastructure and automation systems;
  • IoT-enabled vessel monitoring and management;
  • Data-driven decision support systems for port and shipping operations;
  • Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring of maritime assets;
  • Big data analytics for optimizing cargo handling and logistics;
  • Blockchain applications in maritime supply chain management;
  • Cybersecurity and risk management in smart seaports;
  • Environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in maritime operations;
  • Integration of AI and machine learning in port and vessel operations;
  • Autonomous vessels and unmanned systems in maritime transport.

In order to address the dynamic changes in vessel preferences for berth lines caused by the deployment of shore-based power equipment in major ports and the collaborative scheduling problem of berthing and towing assistance, this paper quantifies the environmental costs of pollutants from the main engines of tugs and auxiliary engines of container ships using an environmental tax. Additionally, considering the economic costs such as vessel delay and shore power cable connection, a two-layer mixed-integer linear programming model is constructed using the task sequence mapping method. This model integrates the allocation of continuous berths at container terminals with coordinated towing scheduling for shore power selection. A solution approach is designed by combining the commercial solver (CPLEX) and the immune particle swarm optimization algorithm (IAPSO). The proposed scheme is validated using the example of the Nansha Phase IV Terminal at the Port of Guangzhou. The results show that compared to the traditional first-come-first-served and adjacent scheduling schemes, the collaborative scheduling scheme proposed in this paper reduces the total cost by 21.73%. By effectively utilizing berth resources and shore power equipment while densely arranging collaborative tasks and appropriately increasing the number of tugs, the port can convert the economic cost of leasing a small number of tugs (increased by 10.63%) into environmental benefits (decreased by 33.88%). This approach provides a reference for addressing nearshore pollution emissions in ports. Full article
