A smart port refers to an automated port that utilizes innovative technologies namely the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and Blockchain to augment its performance. Since the volume of trade is rising significantly, adopting such novel technologies have become critical, in order to improve internal efficiency and operations. Smart ports can also improve environmental sustainability as it incorporates the aforementioned technologies. Besides, smart ports can remain economically competitive, streamline workflow, and reduce costs.
Body:
Smart port uses advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies to automate cargo handling processes, port community system (PCS), and traffic-monitoring systems. Smart ports can also improve environmental sustainability by adopting AI tools and big data analytic solutions in the waste management system of ports. Moreover, AI-based solutions can also be used in the port logistics and supply-chain security to minimize the security risks such as smuggling of unauthorized products and substances.

Rising emphasis on minimizing operational expenses is expected to drive growth of the global smart ports market during the forecast period
The global trade is increasing at a rapid pace with increased vessel size, traffic at ports, and cargo volumes. This, in turn, has increased workloads on shipyards and ports. According to the United Nations Comtrade (UN Comtrade), in 2018, the U.S. recorded the total trade of over US$ 949 billion, which is the most across the globe. Such rising trade requires operational efficiency with a streamlined workflow. Smart ports incorporate novel and cutting edge technologies such as AI and IoT, in order to enhance the operational efficiency of routine port activities. It reduces logistics costs and improves efficiency. Therefore, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global smart ports market during the forecast period.

Growing concerns regarding environmental concerns are expected to propel the global smart ports market growth over the forecast period
Shipping industry contributes a massive carbon footprint worldwide. According to the International Transport Forum (ITF), around 85% of carbon dioxide emissions were produced by ports. This has necessitated a reduction of carbon footprint. Advanced technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence can help ports to achieve their targets and save energy consumed by infrastructure on premise. Thus, these factors are expected to propel the global smart ports market growth over the forecast period
