AUTONOMOUS SUSTAINABLE MARITIME BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND PORT MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA
Abstract
Indonesia, as the world’s largest archipelagic state, is facing increasing pressure to modernize and decarbonize its maritime logistics and port operations. With the exponential advancement in automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainable business frameworks, the maritime sector in Indonesia stands at a critical juncture. This paper explores the potential integration of autonomous technologies in maritime business and port management, with a focus on aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and blue economy principles. It critically analyses current regulatory, infrastructural, and operational limitations while proposing a framework for autonomous sustainable maritime business models. Empirical observations and recent policy developments are examined to highlight gaps and opportunities. This study contributes novel insights by combining technological, regulatory, and sustainability dimensions into a holistic port and maritime management strategy suitable for the Indonesian context.
