Improving the efficiency of operating activities while minimizing the impact on the environment are increasingly prioritized of seaports over stiff competition in global supply chains. Incorporating advanced technologies connected with the fourth industrial revolution, smart port has become a strategic direction towards sustainable development of modern seaports. Consequence, there have been a growing concern over smart port in both academic and practical. Therefore, this study conducts a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis evaluating the current research of smart port derived from Web of Science. This study’s findings illustrate that there are three main research themes in the smart port literature in which digitalization and its application in smart port has been a major topic in the smart port literature. Accordingly, this study provides insights into the main trends and future research directions on smart port.

AbstractThe Authors developed a damage assessment system for mooring facilities. This system uses information on seismic motion observed by strong motion seismographs when an earthquake occurs in order to determine whether or not mooring facilities can be used based on the degree of damage suffered. The system creates maps estimating damage based on the results. Two methods are available for determining usability—immediate diagnoses and detailed diagnoses—and all calculations are performed automatically, from the acquisition of the seismic motion information to the determination of usability. The resulting maps estimating damage can be used to select surveyed facilities for on-site damage assessments, making this system an effective tool for supporting initial response systems after a disaster strikes.

The Bitung Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development is currently being developed. Of course, supporting facilities are needed in the form of physical infrastructure. For example, the Bitung Container Port (TPK Bitung) is currently separated from the Bitung Public Port. Future developments will also be separated from the traditional and ferry ports. The separation of this port is a synergy between the Central and Regional Governments. In connection with the separation of Bitung TPK with Bitung Public Port, a Port Facility Security Assessment is required to identify possible weaknesses/deficiencies in the Port Facility Security section and the possibility to reduce or mitigate those weaknesses/shortages. The Port Facility Security Assessment must meet the requirements set by IMO as required in ISPS Code Part.A.15. The approach used in conducting this study is identical to the methodology commonly used in security assessments. Especially concerning the ISPS Code, related to the ISPS Code, the standard methodologies commonly used in each country are as follows: Pre-Assessment, Security Survey at the port location, Mitigation Strategy; The results of research conducted by combining elements of consequences, threats/scenarios, physical and non-physical security vulnerabilities. The security system at Bitung Container Terminal that is currently running is good. Physical security facilities already exist, security personnel already exist, security and procedures exist. However, what must be fulfilled by managers and other related parties related to the operation of Port Facilities to meet the conditions as required in the ISPS Code are IMO Course 3.24 (Security Officer) Training.

In this paper, a bibliometric, content and thematic analysis of digitalization in maritime transport and seaports was performed. The research was primarily motivated by the scarcity of similar works offering a comprehensive and recent literature analysis, the advancements of the maritime digitalization itself, and its influence on all related processes. The initial investigation phase considered 8178 publications, leading through the research steps to the final inclusion of 280 papers, the thematic and content analysis of which were performed using various bibliometric tools. The research encompassed various criteria, ranging through databases, keywords, topics, research areas and others. The resulting concept map emphasized the main concepts that digitalization in maritime transport relies on, or strives towards. The aim of the study was to address the fundamental research questions, with the tendency to define the main key points in the current maritime transport and seaport digitalization process. It can be concluded that an increasing number of authors recognize the importance of new digital technologies in maritime transport and seaports. However, with new digital technologies come specific risks such as spoofing or data manipulation that need to be further analyzed.

In the AECO field, there have been many efforts to transform the design, construction, and maintenance methods that have been carried out in the traditional way based on document-based data into digital ones. BIM makes it possible for the information necessary for the entire construction process to be transformed into a language that computers can understand. In the field of architecture, BIM has been actively used throughout the entire construction life cycle through steady research since the 2000s, while COBie was developed in order to deliver information generated in the design and construction phase to the maintenance phase based on the BIM environment. In the field of infrastructure, however, digital data-based maintenance information management has not been actively studied. In particular, in the case of a port, once a facility is built, it has to be maintained for a longer period than other facilities, so facility maintenance is of utmost importance. Therefore, this study applied COBie, which is being used in the architecture field (building), to the port field. To this end, the COBie standard format in the port field was developed based on the port facility object breakdown structure and property breakdown structure. The port COBie developed through this study is included when the BIM model is converted to the IFC model so that facility management can be performed through the IFC-based viewer in the future. The port COBie schema developed in this study can be expanded to other fields such as roads and bridges in the future.

The paper uses a bibliometric approach to quantitatively assess current research trends on idea of sustainability in seaport cities. Content, structure and connections between port city and sustainability issues are especially looking for. The aim is to get an overview of that research field, find how different subfields are connected and find the potential opportunities for bridging the gaps between subfields. The tools of bibliometric analysis – a map of the links between the keywords and keywords density map – are used to identify important areas in port city research field. Findings show that the most important research field of port city can be divided into four clusters which are devoted to environmental issues, port activity, waterfront development and sustainability matters.

Purpose This study aims to formulate the implementation model of Ship and Port Facility Security Policy based on ISPS Code in PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch). Design/methodology/approach The location of the study was the port area of PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch). It was because the controlling policy became the duties and responsibilities of each region in which it was the responsibility of PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch). However, because of the problem of controlling, it became a common responsibility that could be divided into other institutions such as Navy, Police, Kodim, Satpol PP and leadership apparatus ranging from local to central authorities. Data collection in this study was done by some methods, namely: interview and direct observation. This was done to provide a real and detailed picture of the implementation of Ship and Port Facility Security that is based on ISPS Code to discipline gerandong in PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch). The researcher conducted the data collection activity by compiling the document on the field. Findings Ship and Port Facility Security Policy of ISPS Code throughout Indonesia, including PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch), has been enacted by Ministry of Transportation since 2004 by the Decree of Minister of Transportation Number 33/2003 on the application of Amendment of SOLAS 1974 on the Ship and Port Facility Security in Indonesian territory (ISPS Code) in top-down way for good port governance that is free from any safety, health and security threats, especially gerandong because of which the implementation of ISPS Code is not working properly. The Ship and Port Facility Security Policy that is based on ISPS Code is a mandate of UN convention and the mandate of the law and order of the Minister of Transportation to conduct the port security, especially in securing the ship and port facility based on ISPS Code so that Cirebon Branch will be a world-class port. The implementation process of ship and port facility security that is based on ISPS Code in PT Pelindo II (Cirebon Branch) does not run optimally, especially in disciplining gerandong because of the lack of the socialization that was done to the target community groups and related makeshift. Originality/value From the results of analysis of several journals that became a reference for this study, there are at least three problems that need special attention, namely, general implementation problems (especially in developing countries), implementations that do not work because of leadership and implementation that cannot run if there is no benchmarking. The researcher is interested in analyzing the problem that has lasted almost for 10 years and has never been resolved until now. Many of the problems behind the phenomenon of gerandong occurred because of the interaction of government (civil society), civil society, Community Empowerment Institutions (LSM), Market (PT Pelindo) and certain community groups as well as the involvement of the apparatus. The most important of all that has been explained above is that in accordance with the feasibility of study (FS), the environmental impacts of the Development Main Plan (RIP) of Cirebon Port and its social impact analysis on the community has not been discussed. Therefore, the FS is expected to be complete and to become plenary and be more feasible to be accepted with this gerandong study.

Considering 91 countries with seaports, this study conducted an empirical inquiry into the broader economic contribution of seaborne trade, from a port infrastructure quality and logistics performance perspective. Investment in quality improvement of port infrastructure and its contribution to economy are often questioned by politicians, investors and general public. A structural equation model (SEM) is used to provide empirical evidence of significant economic impacts of port infrastructure quality and logistics performance. Furthermore, analysis of a multi-group SEM is performed by dividing countries into developed and developing economy groups. The results reveal that it is vital for developing countries to continuously improve the quality of port infrastructure as it contributes to better logistics performance, leading to higher seaborne trade, yielding higher economic growth. However, this association weakens as the developing countries become richer.
