Ports Located in South of Primorsky Territory as Part of International Logistic Chains. Prospects of Digitalization and Establishing Unified Regional System of Effective Management

Abstract

The ports of the Primorye-1 and Primorye-2 corridors in Primorsky Territory are the most important channels for foreign trade and transit of the Far East with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The interest of the leading economies of the Asia-Pacific region, in particular China, in the use of the corridor infrastructure determines their transit potential. As elements of the international commodity distribution chain, ports' infrastructure as well as their management system require modernization. Today, the world's leading logistics operators strive to implement digital technologies in management and automate processes in order to increase their competitiveness. This article outlines the prospects for the implementation of digital technologies in the management of the southern ports of Primorsky Territory. Authors provide a justification for such modernization in terms of increasing the competitiveness of the region's sea transport. The concept of digitalization of the ports located in the south of Primorsky Territory and the establishment of a unified regional management system can become one of the ways to develop sea logistics in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
