Sažetak
Maritime transport sector plays an important role in the economic development, and can be divided into three fields: cargo transport, passenger transport and seaport services (loading and unloading processes, storage etc.). It involves numerous stakeholders, from administrative bodies to carriers, shipping agents, freight forwarders, pilot companies, towing companies etc., who exchange large quantities of data. The data is often exchanged in various formats, sometimes even in paper format, which leads to delays and errors. Therefore, closer cooperation between stakeholders is necessary, along with data exchange standardization, to achieve smoother and faster data exchange. Digital transformation affects maritime transport sector and requires the implementation of new methods, models, and tools, and often implies new approaches, business models, and new skills which will help the transport companies and seaport stakeholders to remain competitive in the modern environment, achieve growth, and fend off competitive threats. The author plans to research the role of private and public seaport stakeholders in digital transformation. The problem of data ownership will also be addressed, because it affects the speed of digital transformation in maritime transport sector with an emphasis on seaports. In the second year of PhD research, the author will propose a model of digital transformation of seaports loosely based on the research by Venkatraman, (who devised five levels of digital transformation) and by Heilig, Schwarze and Vos (who followed up on Venkatraman's research). The model will be substantially revised to fit the Croatian seaport context.
