Intelligent maritime corridors: Understandings, challenges and roadmaps

Each commercial maritime corridor has its history of development, among which are corridors that are more advanced than others in terms of governance, logistics and technological performance, especially for MASS. Intelligent Maritime Corridors (IMC) development presents multiple challenges within a jurisdiction and internationally. Our new organization (IMC IC) is dedicated to exploring this concept and promoting its growth. Continuous monitoring, holistic analysis, large diffusions of the information, feedback, and activation of the knowledge within a collaborative platform under the umbrella of a dedicated organization is now crucial for decision-makers worldwide.
