“…It has often relied on a careful blend of operational technologies and a highly skilled workforce to deliver on its mandate. Despite the huge initial capital investment, these technologies (both at the port and seaside) improve the productivity of the workforce [28,29] and empower operators to deliver goods to areas of high utility in an efficient manner at relatively reduced costs. Although some research argues that the emergency of technologies such as automated ships (smart vessels) might result in the loss of jobs to seafarers [8], the consensus remains that shipboard automation and similar Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies (Industry 4.0) springing up globally [30] and within the maritime transportation sector portend a positive outlook for both shoreside and shipboard efficiency [13,24].…”

“…The majority of predictions from the extant literature regarding the impact of automation within the global maritime transportation sector is that low-skill jobs onboard ships and at seaports will fade out but usher in new highly technical roles [8,29,32]. To adequately prepare the maritime transport industry workforce to seamlessly step into the new roles envisaged to emerge from the industry automation deluge, Koh, et al [33] propose that knowledge transfer should focus on five competencies.…”

The maritime industry is regarded as the fulcrum of the global economy. It contributes significantly in diverse ways to the movement of goods. To effectively deliver on its mandate, maritime transportation needs to be sustainable. In the absence of a resilient and highly adaptive workforce; however, it is impossible to address the tangible set of economic, environmental and social expectations for the sector. From a human capital perspective, this paper explores the emerging dynamics of producing a sustainable workforce for global maritime transportation. Results from a recent study involving 305 ship officers (web-based survey) are compared with new changes (from academic sources and industry reports) in the maritime transportation sector. The comparison (findings) highlights emerging changes within the global maritime workforce and the implications for skill development. It also emerged that the shortage of highly skilled talent (on both the landside and seaside) is a critical challenge and is being exacerbated by growing industry changes. Ultimately, these developments endanger sustainable maritime transportation. Consequently, the paper proposes a skill resilience framework with which industry stakeholders could identify skill gaps among the workforce and improve training content to produce an adaptive workforce capable of handling emerging challenges.

Entering the new century, the role of the ocean as a growth of regional economic development has become more prominent. This study focuses on the quantitative analysis of the impact of port economic development on the efficiency of maritime logistics and supply chain, using the synergy model to analyze multiple ordinal covariates of the port economy and naval logistics supply chain subsystems. And find out the optimal synergy matching degree between port economies and maritime logistics supply chain sub-systems among multiple ordinal covariates. Finally, X port is taken as a research case to demonstrate the coordination relationship between port economic development and the efficiency of the maritime logistics supply chain. The results show that from 2012 to 2023, the synergy value between the economy and the marine logistics supply chain of Port X shows a growing trend, and the level of synergistic development between the two is also increasing year by year. It shows that the synergy model constructed by the research can reflect the degree of synergistic development between the port’s economic development and the maritime logistics supply chain in a more comprehensive way and has general applicability. Meanwhile, the results of the study can provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of port logistics policy and regional economic development planning in the coastal economic zone.
