“…This transformation receives criticism as regards to the way it will affect shipping industry's identity. In this context, automation in the form of unmanned vessels is considered to pose a threat to the identity of the shipping industry as it will be a shift to "non-seafarer-centric shipping" (Poulis et al 2020). Likewise, changes in the nature of work of the seafaring profession and among maritime professionals in general, necessitate the development of new skills related to digital technologies and manifest the importance of lifelong learning.…”

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges that appear in maritime human resource management, in the face of the digitalized environment in maritime business, due to the diffusion of new technologies, such as big data analytics, blockchain technology, and future MASS technology. The current study is based on a systematic review of the relevant literature attempting to respond to the analysis of the challenges described above. The study reveals that existing scientific interest concentrates on the training and education of the maritime workforce, the new skills required as well as the possible loss of traditional jobs and the creation of new ones, while mainly examining the seagoing personnel. However, limited attention has been paid to the practices of human resource management, which could facilitate the transition to the new era of maritime business. This study aims at contributing to the research in the field of Maritime HRM by revealing gaps in existing literature and suggesting areas for future research as well as new methodological approaches in addressing these gaps.

“…Remote operation/access is currently an intermediate solution when the aim is autonomous CPS but full autonomy cannot be supported (Yagdereli et al, 2015;Höyhtyä et al, 2017). Studies have demonstrated that the digitization in shipping includes productivity gains (Poulis et al, 2020), physical safety (Plaza-Hernández et al, 2021), lower carbon footprints (Larrazabal and Peñas, 2016;Peng et al, 2020), higher efficiency at all levels, lower costs, and flexibility. However, other research shows that there are vulnerabilities in large CPS sensor networks (El-Rewini et al, 2020) and communication systems (e.g., satellite Manulis et al, 2021).…”

Modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) show increasing levels of automation, intelligence, and optimization capabilities. Both creators and adopters of these technologies emphasize the benefits: safety, cost-savings, and efficiencies. Existing literature under-represents the potential risks associated with the adoption of individually complex systems and interconnected Systems-of-Systems (SoS). Research primarily focuses on the potential benefits, and many recent deployments of new technology have received little rigorous scrutiny. The studies that do explore issues, such as cyber-attacks on CPS, often lack an analysis of the potential impact based on the way cyber-physical risks are communicated. Due to high levels of interaction and inter dependencies in CPS, disruptions in one sector can propagate to other sectors. The initial economic impacts may start locally but will often lead to global effects if response mechanisms prove insufficient. This case study aims to address a research gap in modeling, and quantifies how a cyber-attack, with physical consequences, can affect local and global trade if a single maritime port is affected. Additionally, to further understanding of the public's perception of risk about cyber-attacks and its emergent threat to global supply chains, members of the public were asked to react to the potential econometric losses. This study produced the five-part CyPEM (Cyber Physical Econometric Model) that has the capability to translate a cyber-attack to an econometric loss. Each framework part may also be swapped out to analyze different CPS. With this, we discovered a gap in the perceptions of cyber-physical risk regarding maritime transport.

“…2.1.1 Digitalization in maritime logistics networks Albeit more slowly than other industries, shipping is also digitally transforming itself by sourcing, adapting, developing and managing industry-specific versions of generic technologies (Lambrou et al, 2019). From a narrow perspective, digitalization or maritime 4.0 can be associated with the vessels providing the shipping service (Sullivan et al, 2020;Poulis et al, 2020). More broadly, digitalization offers many opportunities for both shipping companies and the MLNs they operate within.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore how a start-up entering maritime logistics networks (MLNs) in the container shipping industry integrates resources underlying value cocreation patterns in these networks. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on a single case study of a technological start-up, providing tracking, tracing and other information services to MLN members using internet-based software. An interorganizational theory perspective informs the case study to unveil the resource integration for value cocreation in the network. Findings The start-up holds multiple resource interaction roles and the start-up’s involvement enables the creation of new knowledge resources, which facilitate new revenue streams and manage resource dependencies. Hence, the findings indicate that the start-up changes value cocreation patterns in the network by reconfiguring and integrating existing resources so that the service is customized for various customers, including shippers and freight forwarders. Practical implications The results provide insights about how technological start-ups can unlock resources within MLNs. Originality/value The study extends previous studies on resource roles in business networks and shows how start-ups can perform multiple roles simultaneously within these networks. In addition, the study contributes to the literature by studying information and knowledge as resources configured in different ways in a unique network setting.
