This study explores the role of IoT, Big Data analytics, and digital platforms in strengthening sustainable maritime governance and seafarer welfare systems. The research addresses a critical gap in port and shipping literature by integrating technological transformation with human-centered maritime social management. Using quantitative scoring indicators and qualitative interpretative analysis, the study evaluates system effectiveness across ESG alignment, operational resilience, digital governance, and crew well-being dimensions. Results indicate high effectiveness levels, demonstrating that data-driven welfare ecosystems significantly improve monitoring accuracy, decision-making efficiency, and sustainability compliance. The findings reveal that digital integration enables a shift from reactive welfare management to predictive and preventive governance frameworks. By combining technological innovation with ethical oversight, the research contributes a novel framework for sustainable maritime transformation. Practical implications include enhanced resilience strategies, improved ESG reporting structures, and proactive mental health monitoring systems. The study recommends future longitudinal research to examine long-term behavioral and organizational impacts of digital welfare ecosystems in global shipping networks.
