Digitalization and Digital Transformation in Maritime Transport

Maritime transport is very important for global trade and involves numerous stakeholders and complex business processes. Stakeholders in the maritime transport sector face numerous challenges due to growing demands of service users, complex changes in regulatory frameworks, technological progress, etc. A preliminary review of the available literature has identified a lack of research and scientific papers dealing with digitalization and digital transformation in the maritime transport sector. Digitalization focuses mainly on the business process automation, while digital transformation may be defined as the use of new digital technologies to enable business improvements or to innovate business models. While disruptive digital technologies (such as Big Data, Blockchain or Artificial Intelligence) foster digitalization and digital transformation in the maritime transport sector, the barriers such as insufficient management support or lack of stakeholder collaboration slow down digitalization and digital transformation. Accordingly, stakeholders in the maritime transport sector need to develop appropriate strategies in order to achieve and maintain a competitive position in the market and to operate sustainably, while government and industrial policies have to guide and encourage sustainable and safe practices through digitalization and digital transformation in the maritime transport sector.
