IOT framework to support maritime highway program: A case study in Indonesia

Abstract

As one of the largest archipelagic countries in the world, Indonesia has been running the maritime highway system in recent years. This study focuses on how to improve the role of IOT platform in the maritime highway system. Furthermore, in this study, the authors are designing a new IOT system framework to support the operation of the maritime highway program in the seaport logistics system in archipelago countries, especially Indonesia. Each part of the port management stakeholders like port authority, commodity products company, shipping companies, and the government with their different policies (unique) in each island region has created its own IT system and links it to every website in its organization partially and not yet fully integrated. This research provides newly integrated frameworks with the IOT approach, and also a few recommendations related to practical and theoretical contributions that can be further developed in the seaports sector.
