This scientific text critically examines the digitization of the supply chain and its significant
impact on the shipping industry, focusing on logistics optimization, operational efficiency, and
environmental sustainability. It navigates through the historical evolution of supply chain
management, from traditional methods to digital advancements, highlighting key milestones
that have shaped this transformation. By tracing this progression, the study underscores the
necessity of adopting modern technologies to maintain competitiveness and sustainability in
the shipping sector. Emphasis is placed on the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and blockchain,
demonstrating their pivotal roles in enhancing transparency, efficiency, and security within the
supply chain. The study also explores the challenges associated with digital transformation,
including cybersecurity threats, high implementation costs, and regulatory complexities, which
often hinder seamless integration into existing maritime operations. Furthermore, the text
presents insightful case studies on green shipping initiatives, offering real-world examples of
how digital innovations contribute to reducing carbon emissions, optimizing fuel consumption,
and promoting sustainable maritime logistics. In conclusion, the study discusses the broader
implications of digital transformation in the shipping industry, addressing both its limitations
and potential directions for future research. This exploration provides a comprehensive
academic perspective on the evolving role of digitization in global logistics and environmental
conservation.
