創新科技在航運及港埠經營上之應用

The Application of Innovative Technologies in Shipping and Port Operations

資訊通訊、造船技術及自動控制等科技的發展，若能夠被組合而應用於航運及港埠，可實現更高的營運成效，對海上生命安全、環保及營運產生亦有正面影響。但各航商及港埠業者仍以營利為目的，故其應用創新科技發展條件及情況各不相同，而有必要基於政治、經濟、社會及技術構面之考量，探討業者如何應用此等科技。本研究經由資料分析及研究訪談，探討資訊通訊等科技，包括區塊鏈、大數據、數位平台、無人船，人工智慧、自動控制等，未來在航運與港埠經營、航海、物流上之應用方式，以及在應用上所面臨之挑戰與可能發展，期能提供業界之參考。
The development of information, communication technology, automatic control, etc. can enhance the operational efficiency, safety, environmental protection, if they can be applied in shipping and port operations. However, respective shipping companies and ports have their own profit-oriented business goals, and thus they may have to consider political, economic, social and technological aspects relating to the application of the above mentioned technologies. This study undertakes literature reviews and expert interviews in order to explore how shipping companies and port operators apply block chain, big data, digital platform, autonomous ship, artificial intelligence and automatic control, etc. It also discusses the feasibility of applying those new technologies in shipping and port operations and businesses, navigation, and logistics, as well as the future challenges and development for adapting the challenges. It aims to provide reference to shipping circles.
