A Blockchain Prototype for Improving Electronic Seals on Container Shipping Operations

Abstract

With the widespread use of electronic seals (e-seals), their traceability and security have attracted more and more attention. Moreover, the complexity of shipping operations and container handling justifies the use of technologies to ensure information security in the face of attacks. This work contributes a blockchain-based solution with a simulated prototype for improving electronic seals for containers on terminals in ports. An electronic seal was designed, and a blockchain prototype was constructed for a container data flow. The obtained results from the prototype were evaluated using performance tests. The security issues in the blockchain were also discussed from a strategic perspective based on game theory. Finally, the simulation concluded that the blockchain improves transaction efficiency. No studies were found that integrated blockchain technology with electronic seals. Therefore, this work intends to combine blockchain technology with e-seal to improve the security of transferred data due to its immutable nature.

Comprehensive Analysis of Maritime Cybersecurity Landscape Based on the NIST CSF v2.0

“…Lastly, in the context of protecting communication systems, Ruhland et al [110] introduced MARMAC, a cost-effective method for retrofitting and protecting nautical communication systems. On the other hand, Le et al [111] combined blockchain with electronic seals (e-seals) to enhance data security and traceability during port terminal operations. Not to be left out, Yang et al [91] proposed an IoT-powered system focusing on maritime transport communication systems to promote network security, reliability, and efficiency.…”

Labour force management in maritime ports: A comprehensive systematic literature review

“…Before the COVID-19 pandemic, maritime ports grappled with challenges in labour force management. Issues such as allocating labour for enhanced efficiency, addressing workforce management challenges, anticipating industry changes, evaluating performance effectively, and adapting to evolving requirements were already critical focal points [2] , [3] , [4] . However, ports and terminals are the elements of the marine industry that experienced higher disruption due to the pandemic.…”
