Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Maritime transport and port management are critical components of the global supply chain, facilitating the movement of goods and services across the world’s oceans. As a critical component of the global supply chain, maritime transport faces numerous challenges while continuously adapting to new technologies to ensure a sustainable and resilient future.
Recent research in maritime transport and port management includes advancements in smart port technology, automation, green shipping practices, and strategies to enhance the resilience of supply chains against interruptions.
This Special Issue aims to publish a wide range of papers focusing on these innovations, sustainability, and operational effectiveness within maritime transport and port management.
We seek forward-thinking research articles, comprehensive reviews, and innovative case studies that push the boundaries of maritime transport and port management, providing fresh perspectives, cutting-edge solutions, and strategic insights for the future.
We invite the submission of high-quality contributions directly related to the aspects mentioned below. Novel research techniques are encouraged.
Possible subjects of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technological innovations in maritime transportation and port activities;
- Environmentally friendly shipping technologies;
- Digitalization and automation in port operations;
- Intelligent port infrastructures;
- Supply chain strategies and emerging innovative practice;
- Smart port management strategies for enhancing port efficiency and productivity;
- Maritime safety and risk management.
