Abstract
Smart ports are defined from a variety of perspectives. Smart ports are
automated, logistics optimization, energy-efficient, the eco-friendly and innovative port
through the innovation of information technologies such as the Internet of Things
(IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI). Smart ports are expanding their
boundaries to the city in order to strengthen the connection. Furthermore, smart ports
organically connect all related resources by acting as a hub for information flow to
collect, process, analyze and share data. We need deep insight into the question of what
the future be like. This chapter aims to answer two questions: what is a smart port, and
how are they prepared to become a smart port? What is the strategy for the smartization
of advanced ports?
Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI), Automated port, Eco-friendly port, Energy-efficient port, Internet of Things (IoT), Logistics optimization, Smart port.
