Advances in Marine Logistics, Shipping, and Ports

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the multidisciplinary field that focuses on improving the efficiency and sustainability of maritime logistics systems.

This area of study is closely linked to the growth of international trade and globalization. Over the years, the field has evolved to address various challenges such as the increasing size of vessels, changing environmental regulations, and the need for greater efficiency in the field.

This field aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of marine logistics by developing innovative technologies and methodologies. The scope of this field includes a range of topics, such as simulation, AI, automation, big data analysis, IOT and information platform in the areas of shipping, ports, and logistics. 

We invite researchers in these areas to submit papers that address the challenges and opportunities of marine logistics, shipping, and ports, and provide innovative solutions in order to improve the efficiency and sustainability of maritime transportation. We are particularly interested in papers that combine theoretical analysis with practical applications and offer insights into the latest trends and developments in the field.
