Technology can greatly improve the efficiency of maritime operations. Currently, shipping goods from a manufacturer to a consumer involves many stakeholders: transporters, ports, customs, etc. Much of the physical paperwork is handed over from one party to the next. This results in situations where goods may have arrived but the paperwork has not caught up. Integrated digital platforms such as Port Community Systems connect the systems of multiple organizations that make up a seaport community, including shipping lines and terminals. Unfortunately, less than a third of IMO members are currently equipped with these platforms. Maritime transport is the backbone of the global economy, accounting for over 90% of cross-border trade. And like most other industries, shipping is being rapidly transformed by a range of technology innovations that aim to make operations greener, cheaper, and more efficient. At the same time.
