Abstract

The transformation of ports into digitally integrated ecosystems has redefined maritime governance, shifting the focus from physical infrastructure to data-driven coordination and multi-agency collaboration. This research investigates how Digital Port Community Systems (PCS), supported by Big Data architectures, IoT-enabled information networks, and AI-assisted decision mechanisms, enhance stakeholder coordination and sustainable maritime development. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected from port experts, maritime lecturers, and industry graduates through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Thematic analysis, cross-group comparison, and narrative synthesis were employed to interpret the findings. Results indicate a very high level of effectiveness in digital stakeholder literacy, AI and IoT integration, institutional readiness, and sustainable governance capacity. The findings demonstrate that interoperable digital platforms significantly improve transparency, operational efficiency, and policy integration, while also highlighting the importance of cybersecurity culture and enterprise architecture alignment. By integrating maritime policy, sustainability studies, and computer science perspectives, this study contributes an interdisciplinary framework for smart port governance and offers practical implications for maritime education, digital transformation strategies, and national logistics ecosystem development.
