However, the readiness and awareness of the Turkish maritime industry is a common uncertainty. To reveal and show the current progress of the industry, a survey has been carried out. Participants from different companies with different education levels and experiences have been joined and answered the questionnaire which aims to clarify the past, present, and future of the maritime industry. The results of the survey show that the Turkish maritime industry is not fully ready at the company level, however, they perform better at the individual level. Furthermore, the industry may require additional regulation and technical support from maritime stakeholders such as chambers, related government departments, and non-governmental organizations.}, number={1}, publisher={Adem Yavuz SÖNMEZ}
