Theme: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges of Maritime Logistics - Automation, Digitalization, and Artificial Intelligence

Automation has become an indispensable characteristic inherent in ports, which are key nodes of the global logistics network. In recent years, with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, smart port and shipping are attracting more and more attention from both researchers and practitioners. The applied AI technologies will not only improve the performance of existing maritime logistics network, but also upgrade the potential of new generation maritime system. In addition, the maritime systems may explore new opportunities and challenges of a more comprehensive and tailored cooperation with smart supply chains.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

  1. Automated container terminals
  2. Digitalization of maritime logistics
  3. Artificial intelligence in maritime logistics
  4. Smart maritime logistics network
  5. Big data analytics for maritime logistics
  6. Warehousing
  7. Maritime logistics under Industry 4.0
  8. Supply chains with Internet of Things
  9. Operation safety and human factors
  10. Impact of emergency (e.g., COVID-19) and resilience of maritime system
  11. Intermodal transport network
  12. Green port and shipping
  13. Maritime safety and security with applied technologies
  14. Global supply chain management
  15. Infrastructure and investment policies
  16. Global E-business and maritime logistics
  17. Relationship between maritime logistics center and free trade zone (port, island)
  18. Maritime policy and economics
  19. Interdisciplinary studies on maritime logistics
