Abstract
The sea-land logistics and maritime transport industry have experienced a profound transformation propelled by rapid technological advancements and innovative solutions. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the most noteworthy key technologies and innovations that have shaped the landscape of sea-land logistics and maritime transport in recent years. Focusing on the past decade (2013-2023), this study aims to detect insights from cutting-edge scientific progress within the field. The research adopts a meticulous approach, delving into the most relevant features and characteristics of the latest evolutions and solutions in sea-land logistics and maritime transport. By limiting the literature review to a specific ten-year timeframe, the study ensures a concentrated exploration of the state-of-the-art developments. The overall framework is designed to concentrate on technological and innovative aspects, offering a focused analysis of the transformative trends that have emerged. The paper categorises the technological advancements and innovations based on their implications for sea-land logistics and maritime transport. Major areas of focus include digitalisation and automation, intelligent transport systems, green and sustainable technologies, and emerging trends in vessel design and propulsion. Through an exhaustive review of scholarly contributions, the study distills critical insights into the applications, impacts, and future trajectories of these technological interventions. Key findings include the integration of digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and data analytics, into logistics and transport operations.
