Maritime Transport Emissions and Efficiency

Researchers have investigated the impact of the Internet of Things on port performance in order to identify IoT applications and determine any changes that may be needed. Tangier Med Port will be able to compete better than its rivals, significantly improving its efficiency. A real-time tracking and monitoring application can be used to track vessels and containers in the first application. In addition to managing traffic or allocating priority and services to vessels moving through the port jurisdiction, information about vessels and containers can also be utilized to stack containers optimally at the port terminals. Thirdly, the Internet of Things facilitates the transition from manual to automated ports/terminals. Fourth, they can spend less time interacting with customers daily. Furthermore, the increased exchange of data will allow existing processes to be optimized. If all the likely threats can be dealt with, the aforementioned points above may have profound effects on the performance of Tangier Med Port, especially its efficiency in its principal activity, which is container activity. This development should be driven by all stakeholders of Tangier Med Port. When compared to its two main rivals, Algeciras and Valencia, Tanger Med can become the most attractive port if it encourages other parties to follow the development of the Internet of Things. Additionally, Port Tanger Med has a geographical advantage.
