Abstract

Global maritime trade growth demands ports to enhance sustainability, resilience, and digital capability simultaneously. This study investigates the integration of green port policies and digital transformation strategies to improve port performance and environmental responsibility. Using a comprehensive literature-based analysis, the research synthesizes findings on port efficiency determinants, emission reduction mechanisms, shore power deployment, automation systems, artificial intelligence applications, digital twins, and resilience measurement frameworks. The results indicate that environmental regulations combined with technological innovation significantly enhance operational efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen risk management capacity. Automated container terminals and AI-based forecasting systems improve productivity and adaptability, particularly during disruptions such as global crises. Furthermore, integrated maritime policies and sustainability governance frameworks play a critical role in aligning economic objectives with environmental targets. The study proposes a conceptual Green Digital Port framework that links policy integration, technological adoption, and sustainability performance. This research contributes to maritime studies by providing a structured analytical foundation to guide port authorities, policymakers, and maritime stakeholders in implementing effective green and digital transformation strategies for long-term competitiveness.
