Port operations refer to a series of maritime procedures that minimize disruption in the port and allow a smooth transition of ships and containers from one terminal to another. It requires efficient use of all ports, berth, roads, and equipment facilities and good communication between all the activities.
Ships and vessels that are trading in the sea are in need of operation and management. As the ship-to-ship transfer (STS) industry increases in size and complexity, the managing of cargo becomes a critical part of shipbroking.
A maritime supply chain refers to the movement of cargo, as well as any related support, involving two destinations and using both maritime (ocean) and land transportation. It’s an entire network of interconnecting systems.
By port operations, we refer to a series of maritime procedures aimed to ensure the smooth transition of vessels and their containers from one terminal to another. Sea travel can be undertaken through many different means.
With a growing emphasis on globalization and accelerating digital transformation in the sea shipping industry, the Port Community System (PCS) becomes key to building smart ports.
Within a large, dynamic logistics network that involves several players, seaports are not just a crossing point, but now stand out as integrated transport hubs and high-value-added platforms for international trade.
Most of the world’s biggest ports use a specific system to ease information exchange between all parties that have activities related to the port. A Port Community System is a National Single Window that links individual seaports and all supply chain actors.
Understanding the economic impacts of climate change is crucial to the future of ports and the marine industry. The oceans carry 80% of world trade. Consequently, port infrastructure and shipping are critical to ensuring the smooth operation of global supply chains.

In today’s world, several thousand vessels of all kinds are deployed and must be safely maintained and well-managed. Before globalization and digitalization, there were only a few activities to ensure the smooth functioning of the shipping industry.
In ocean shipping, Vessel Turnaround Time- the time frame of arrival and departure of the vessel at a port- turns out to be the most influential factor in operations. For ship management organizations, owners, brokers, and suppliers; port efficiency, accessibility, and proximity are decision-making factors-all

Every day we use products shipped by global sea trade; for example, salt, soap, sugar, drinks, books, and electricity just to name a few. Therefore, without allows recognizing it, logistics impacts our everyday life. Logistics is at the center stage of the supply chain
Every year vessel size increases while more goods are consumed, and thus more products are shipped by sea. This increase in demand by the human population is affecting logistics. Logistics must catch up to demand or the global supply chain will face many issues. When the global supply chain is impacted, this affects businesses and daily lives worldwide.
Vessel routes and practices must be optimized. Efficient logistics planning reduces costs and improves efficiency. Maritime actors are realizing that logistics affects the entire end-to-end supply chain, and therefore logistic transparency is important.
Digitalization, digital shipping, and Smart Ships are revolutionizing logistics and providing transparency. They are using Artificial Intelligence, big data, and sensors to track ships and ensure ship safety.
Effective logistics and global trade require a lot of skill and coordination between multiple entities. Digitalization clarifies logistic activities.
A ship tracker, also known as a vessel tracker, uses technologies and equipment to track ships along their route. A ship tracker uses real-time data to constantly update maritime actors about a ship’s voyage status.
This use of advanced technology allows us to know the exact location of a ship as well as an accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Ship trackers are revolutionizing the maritime industry and global supply chain.
The technologies that track ships also help to predict the best vessel route depending on weather and tidal predictions. Vessel tracking leads to safer routes in the case where a ship can avoid originally unforeseen weather events on their trajectory.
Digital ships use vessel tracking among maritime actors and other ships.
In today’s digital world where autonomous smart shipping is seen as the future of the maritime industry, these digital vessel tracking systems will continue to gain popularity.
These autonomous ships will increase the transparency and efficiency of the global supply chain while reducing costs and improving safety.
