Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Seaport Management

Topic Introduction

The course explores AI-driven port optimisation using predictive analytics, digital twins, smart berth allocation, automated customs processing, and cargo flow forecasting. Emphasis is placed on operational efficiency, congestion reduction, and integration with national trade single windows.

Learning Outcome

Participants will design AI-enabled operational strategies for smart port ecosystems.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

1. Apply machine learning models to vessel traffic prediction
2. Optimise berth scheduling using AI optimisation algorithms
3. Implement automated cargo inspection and risk scoring
4. Deploy predictive maintenance for port equipment
5. Integrate AI with port community systems and customs platforms

Develop data governance frameworks for maritime AI systems
