Abstract

Globalization and technological advancements in the transport sector have entailed a significant expansion of the maritime and offshore energy industry, while redefining the role of shipping and ports in global and national supply chains. Ports (often urban based) also play a significant role in their hinterland, through on-land business operations including logistics, renewable energy generation, and decommissioning/recycling activities. However, the ports and maritime sector have been identified as lagging behind other fields in terms of both a digital transformation strategy (to monitor, manage, and support decision-making and investment) and their readiness to accommodate technological innovation and sustainable development (especially vis-a-vis carbon emissions reductions) at a time of increasingly stringent environmental requirements in the domain of sustainability and energy efficiency.
