An Analysis On The Place Of Autonomous Ports In The World Maritime Industry And The Transition Of Turkish Ports To Autonomous Port Systems

Abstract

Autonomous ports represent a novel generation of port management systems that have recently come to the fore in the context of the development of artificial intelligence. These systems automate the monitoring of paperwork and cargo information, ensuring the provision of real-time data upon request. The adoption of autonomous port management systems has emerged predominantly in European ports, and it is anticipated that all global ports will transition to this novel port management paradigm. The objective of this transition is to minimize operational errors by shifting from a human-centric approach to a more automated one. The utilization of artificial intelligence has been observed to facilitate rapid analyses, leading to the identification of reductions in waiting times and productivity increases. In this system, the human factor evolves from labor power to brain power, and human-controlled operation equipment eliminates the risk of many work accidents and significantly reduces the loss of life and injuries in possibly dangerous situations. Turkish ports must assess the potential advantages and disadvantages that they will encounter during their transition to the autonomous port system. The objective of this study is to ascertain the merits and demerits that ports operating within the Marmara Region can attain by the condition of their infrastructure and equipment during the transition to autonomous port management. To this end, a SWOT analysis was conducted, encompassing evaluations from experts in the port sector. The objective of this study is to establish an infrastructure for prospective autonomous port initiatives. The autonomous port system offers significant benefits, including the provision of uninterrupted and continuous service at low cost. However, it is also important to acknowledge the potential challenges posed by infrastructure investments, internet infrastructure and cyber-attacks.
