Autonomous ships and smart port ecosystems are transforming maritime logistics with AI, IoT, and digital twin platforms. These systems enable remote or fully autonomous vessel operation and automate port functions like cargo handling, traffic control, and predictive maintenance. Benefits include reduced crew needs, improved safety, emission reductions, and streamlined supply chains. Use-cases span oceanographic monitoring, border patrol, and unmanned cargo delivery. As ports and ships adopt high-speed connectivity and data analytics, this tech is paving the way for more efficient and sustainable global trade.
