Abstract

This research examines how Big Data analytics, IoT-enabled hinterland connectivity, AI-driven automation, and sustainability governance collectively shape digital port competitiveness within smart port ecosystems. Grounded in a qualitative interpretive approach, the study analyzes perspectives from maritime industry experts, lecturers, and graduates to evaluate technological effectiveness, competency development, and socio-organizational readiness. The findings reveal consistently high performance across key indicators, particularly in sustainability governance alignment and data-driven decision-making capability. The results demonstrate that digital competitiveness is not limited to operational efficiency but is increasingly embedded in environmental strategy, multimodal integration, and institutional transformation. Cross-group analysis indicates strong alignment between academic preparation and industry expectations, although minor competency gaps remain in advanced AI and IoT systems integration. The study contributes to maritime economy scholarship by integrating technological, organizational, and sustainability dimensions into a cohesive digital competitiveness framework. Practically, it offers strategic insights for strengthening smart port corridors, guiding technology investment decisions, and reforming maritime education to support national competitiveness in the global digital maritime economy.
