Abstract

Maritime Management is the process of planning, organizing, managing, and controlling business activities in the maritime sector. This activity includes the operating procedures of ships, all kinds of marine vessels, ports, and all other marine facilities. Communication in maritime business is critical for the continuity and security of maritime operations. Using communication systems, maritime companies can communicate between ships, ports, and other maritime facilities. This communication is essential to manage the navigation of ships, coordinate port operations, and ensure maritime safety. Communication and communication networks in the marine sector are advancing rapidly with technological developments. This situation also carries the growth in cyber security in the marine business. Cyber security in maritime trade is critical to protecting the critical infrastructure of the marine industry. It includes the information technology systems and networks of maritime vessels, ports, and other maritime facilities. This study examines the effects of political, technological, and environmental factors on cyber technology innovations and developments in communication & communication networks in maritime activities. MSC, COSCO, and A.P. are examples. In this study, in which MOLLER-MAERSK companies were selected, the Content Analysis Method was used as the research method, and the findings were analyzed qualitatively by applying the PESTEL method. As a result of the research findings, it has been revealed that despite technological developments, the sector may face cyber threats, and investment planning should be continued more effectively. Conducting this study in a narrow context across different sectors or countries in maritime enterprises will strengthen the literature.

Denizcilik İşletmeciliği Yönetiminin Teknoloji, Politika ve Çevre Açısından Analizi

Abstract

Denizcilik Yönetimi, denizcilik sektöründeki ticari faaliyetlerin planlanması, organize edilmesi, yönetilmesi ve kontrol edilmesi sürecidir. Bu faaliyet gemilerin, her türlü deniz aracının, limanların ve diğer tüm deniz tesislerinin işletim prosedürlerini kapsamaktadır. Denizcilik işletmelerinde iletişim, denizcilik operasyonlarının sürekliliği ve güvenliği açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Denizcilik şirketleri iletişim sistemlerini kullanarak gemiler, limanlar ve diğer denizcilik tesisleri arasında iletişim kurabilir. Bu iletişim, gemilerin navigasyonunu yönetmek, liman operasyonlarını koordine etmek ve deniz güvenliğini sağlamak için gereklidir. Denizcilik sektöründe iletişim ve iletişim ağları teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte hızla ilerlemektedir. Bu durum denizcilik sektöründe siber güvenliğin de büyümesini beraberinde getiriyor. Deniz ticaretinde siber güvenlik, denizcilik sektörünün kritik altyapısının korunması açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Deniz araçlarının, limanların ve diğer denizcilik tesislerinin bilgi teknolojisi sistemlerini ve ağlarını içerir. Bu çalışma, denizcilik faaliyetlerinde iletişim ve iletişim ağlarındaki siber teknoloji yenilik ve gelişmelerine politik, teknolojik ve çevresel faktörlerin etkilerini incelemektedir. MSC, COSCO ve A.P. bunlara örnektir. MOLLER-MAERSK şirketlerinin seçildiği bu çalışmada araştırma yöntemi olarak İçerik Analizi Yöntemi kullanılmış olup, bulgular PESTEL yöntemi uygulanarak nitel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları sonucunda teknolojik gelişmelere rağmen sektörün siber tehditlerle karşı karşıya kalabileceği, yatırım planlamalarının daha etkin şekilde sürdürülmesi gerektiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın denizcilik işletmelerinde farklı sektör veya ülkeler genelinde dar bir bağlamda yapılması literatürü güçlendirecektir.
