“…Taking into account that the maritime industry is complex, and the necessity for a decision-making tool for use at the different stages of design and operation is obvious, a special risk-based assessment tool is proposed, following Yang et al ( 40 ), ISO 31000 and ISO 27005, and IMO’s FSA guidelines based on studies focusing on quantification of maritime security risk. This framework will include risk assessment, which is the procedure for risk identification, analysis, and evaluation ( 57 ).…”

“…Different attack modes, that is, different threats, define the criticality level of the vulnerabilities. For each vulnerability the relevant threats are identified, while the priority of its criticality is considered taking into account these threats ( 40 , 59 ). A first approach is then made to the required prevention measures.…”

“…Threat and vulnerability together will be considered to determine likelihood, while consequence captures the effects of interest to the appropriate decision makers ( 58 ). Thus, after the previous screening process of risk identification, an in-depth prioritization analysis is needed for the vulnerabilities with high criticality ( 40 ). This step helps in decision making as a result of risk analysis, taking into account which risks affecting people, environment, assets, and reputation need treatment, and ends with the prioritization of implementation ( 60 ).…”

“…Thus, as with the FSA case ( 10 ), researchers have proposed ( 13 ) a five-step risk assessment process for the maritime security case: (i) hazards identification, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) risk management with alternative risk control options, (iv) CBA, and (v) recommendations for decision making. Yang et al ( 40 ) also proposed a six-step quantitative maritime security assessment.…”

Terrorism, piracy, robbery, and cyber-threats on ships and at port facilities, as well as smuggling and drug trafficking through cargo and containers, are some of the international security problems for which national maritime security services must provide solutions. Cyber-attack is considered particularly important as it can be combined with all the other security vulnerabilities in the shipping industry. There is no extensive and in-depth literature for the risk acceptance criteria concerning maritime security. Basic information is drawn from other areas, such as civil aviation. It is necessary to standardize these criteria, as is the case with formal safety assessment, where practitioners know how to gather information, to make comparisons with previous experience, and to make decisions that are often based on experience from the past. The aim of the present study is to address the issue of maritime security through the development of a method applicable to the maritime industry that evaluates and manages maritime security-related risks. Security cost-benefit analysis and decision-making procedures will be required in the future. The proposed method uses the bow-tie diagram tool for the estimation of risk. A risk computation procedure is described after the application of a set of prevention barriers, which is based mainly on the accuracy of the definition of the probability and the contribution of each threat, as well as the accuracy of estimation of the effectiveness value of each prevention barrier for the same threat as defined by the user. Similarly, the risk computation for each consequence, after the application of a set of mitigation barriers, is based mainly on the accuracy of the definition of the risk value of each consequence as well as on the accuracy of the estimation of the effectiveness value of each mitigation barrier for the same consequence as defined by the user. The results of the risk computation appear in the bow-tie diagram providing a colored scheme of the risk values obtained for the top event and consequences after the introduction of the necessary prevention and mitigation barriers.Terrorism, piracy, robbery, cyber-threats, smuggling and drug trafficking etc., are some of the international security problems due to which the national maritime security services must provide solutions.

“…In any case, the increment or duplication of physical facilities is highly inefficient in ports of the same region if they have unused capacity. Therefore, closer ports started to cooperate, leaving the traditional attitude to compete (Martín-Alcalde et al, 2016). The four-generation ports were born by the adoption of different types of alliance-merging.…”

Geographical location, infrastructures, and services are the main consolidated pillars of a port in terms of its capacity to compete and cooperate with other ports. In the last years, a new pillar was identified: emerging technologies. Ports’ issues were initially solved with individual ICT solutions adopted by each decision-maker, which generated efficiencies in the three main port flows: cargo, information, and financial. However, new benefits and challenges are connected with the introduction of shared emerging ICT among decision-makers inside ports. The crucial issue concerns the fact that several decision-makers could share a decision about a single-port operation. Therefore, the effectiveness and efficiency of ports depend on how the interactions between the decision-makers are solved. Port operations are associated with movements (cargo) and transactions (information and financial) in a synchronic graph, which allows highlighting the role of emerging technologies in the modification of port operation generalized cost, considering the different decision-makers. The focal point concerns the building of a theoretical model using the formal equations of Transport System Models (TSMs) for the estimation of the cost for a Unit of Load (UL), e.g., a container traveling along a path, composed of a sequence of port operations, inside a port with and without emerging technologies. The proposed theoretical model provides the possibility of estimating ex ante the reduction of cost (port time of UL) given by introducing new technologies and a Port Community System (PCS). Different scenarios, considering some cases, ranging from the absence of ICT to the presence of a PCS, are compared, considering the different situations from a non-congested port to a congested one. The main results of the study and its novelty concern, on the one hand, the extension of TSMs to port systems, highlighting the problem of a non-single decision-maker (two or more) in some port operations and, on the other hand, the possibility of reducing the generalized cost (e.g., time) in the same operations in which there are concurrent decision-makers, through the use of an advanced PCS. The reported numerical example confirms the theoretical results. The work can be useful for researchers for port planners (e.g., port authorities) because it permits evaluating the utility for introducing shared emerging technologies using advanced PCS in a unified view.
