“…There are several smaller groups of authors and journals, but these publish smaller volumes of work and are not connected through collaboration. Similar limiting patterns are also visible in newly rising maritime research areas, such as cyber security and digitalization [23, 84]. This shows that the MET research compared to other domains such as; accident prevention and human factors in maritime [47, 91] is relatively small and less active.…”

The minimum requirements in maritime education and training (MET) are set by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). First established in 1978, the STCW convention standardized educational procedures for seafarers. Since then, it has become the most influential regulatory document for maritime education. The STCW code had major revisions in 1995 and 2010. These amendments were in response to the recognized need to bring the Convention up to date. However, it has been over a decade since the latest amendments came into force, and over the past decade, new educational technologies and digital educational methods have developed significantly. Not only that, but technologies used onboard ships have also advanced considerably. Today, digitalization and the fourth industrial revolution are rapidly reshaping the maritime industry, as well as maritime education. These issues coupled with the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic increased the need for more advanced training tools and methods in MET. Concerns are rising regarding the need for more comprehensive rules that will better reflect today's educational needs and progress in the literature. This paper takes a first step toward addressing these issues by improving the understanding of the currently used advanced teaching methods in MET. This bibliometric review provides developments in the field from the perspective of educators and researchers. As a result, we discovered several narratives and literature gaps in MET. This article reviews the currently investigated subjects and topics, used educational tools and equipment, types of research, and main influencers in MET research. The field is still newly developing, but at a rapid pace. Newly developed tools and methods are increasing, but advances are also constrained because they are made to fit the decade‐old regulations.

The maritime sector has evolved as a crucial link in countries' economic development. Given that most of the trade across regions takes place through naval transportation, the performance of the seaports has been one of the focus areas of research. As the publication volume has significantly grown in the recent past, this study critically examines the publications related to the performance of ports for exploring the evolution, identifying the trends of articles, and analyzing the citations covering the publications based on relevant keywords in Scopus database for the period 1975–April 2024. Bibliometric and scientometric analysis was done using R, Python, and VOS software tools. Results indicate the core subject areas as “port efficiency”, “data envelopment analysis” (DEA), “port competitiveness”, “simulation”, “port governance”, and “sustainability,” with "sustainability" as the most discussed and highly relevant theme that has evolved in the last five years. Bibliometric data analysis on the subject area, yearly trends, top journals of publications, citation and author analysis, impact analysis, country-wise publication, and thematic analysis with clusters are also performed to outline future research directions. The analysis indicates an exponential rise in publications in recent times and with sustainability-related studies gaining more importance, especially for empirical research on port performance and demands for future empirical research on sustainability and smart port performance subject area. The study's findings are helpful for researchers, academicians, policymakers, and industry practitioners working towards a sustainable maritime port industry.

“…The results of the study show that working in a digital ecosystem can help to promote the adoption of digital solutions, although not at the same rate in different departments and shipping facilities. Jović et al (2022) investigated the topic through a comprehensive analysis of various factors that influence the development and implementation of maritime transport and the digitalisation of seaports. They used the method of reviewing publications related to the digitalisation of seaports and maritime transport.…”

Maritime transport is the driving force of global trade and is one of the fundamental activities of the blue economy. In the face of changes in globalization, it must face technological change. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the global commercial shipping fleet grew by 3 percent, in 2020 to 99,800 vessels of 100 gross tons or more. One of the key drivers of technological change in the maritime industry is digitalization. The digitalization of shipping is a step toward making it more environmentally friendly and efficient. This will lead to significant cost savings and improve vessel efficiency, transparency and market access. For the future development of the maritime industry, digitalization combined with environmental sustainability is essential. Experts agree that the COVID -19 pandemic has created certain challenges but also opportunities by creating a great imbalance in the industry and accelerating the progress of digitalization and innovation. The fourth industrial revolution is expected to have a significant impact on maritime transport. The IMO Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic and the WTO Agreement on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic have created common standards and regulations that have paved the way for digitalization. Despite the technological advancements in the maritime industry, there is still much room for further research in developing countries. Digitalization in the maritime sector should be promoted as part of global efforts to increase supply chain resilience. It is the pathway to greener and smarter shipping, and this paper aims to provide an insight into the digitalization of shipping and highlight its importance for the future, as well as demonstrate that it contributes to achieving the sustainable development goals. The level of digitalization in seaports and maritime transport will also be analyzed. The adoption of digitalization in the maritime industry is essential and will lead to greener maritime transport, a robust economy and increased safety. The paper includes primary research on the example of shipowners in the coastal liner passenger transport of the Republic of Croatia, and a questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was used to conduct the research.
