Special Session 1 Topic: Maritime Technological Development and Policy Implications (Special Issue - Transport Policy) Co-organizer: Nanyang Technological University, Tsinghua University Session Chair: Dr Jasmine Siu Lee LAM and Dr. Xiwen Bai Technologies have developed rapidly and affect the maritime industry tremendously. For example, AIS data assists navigation safety and security; Blockchain enhances supply chain visibility and efficiency; maritime Internet of Things facilitates simplified administration. Despite the immense opportunities brought by the advanced technologies, there may be pitfalls and limitations. For instance, automatization comes with cybersecurity concerns; the mid and long-term costs and benefits of Blockchain application are unclear; the uneven technical capability between developing countries and developed economies causes system disharmony and service fragmentation. The success of advanced technology adoption in the maritime industry lies not only in transportation management improvement but also in supporting policy formulation.
