The impact of applying smart port concept on enhancing the performance of Al-Faw great port in Iraq

Ahmed Ismael, Fadel Swadi Mftah

Abstract


Generally speaking, Iraq suffers from the lack of a port that applies the concept of smart port management; which has led to putting Iraqi ports out of competition as a result of using paper management system. Hence, this has affected the productivity and efficiency of Iraqi ports, causing great losses with the long-time factor. In achieving the objectives of this research, the researcher has relied on descriptive-analytical approach. Therefore, an electronically designed questionnaire is used to achieve the aim of knowing the possibility of applying modern technology to Al-Faw great port. An electronic questionnaire was distributed and analysed using SPSS program. Researchers have employed the international experiences applying smart ports concept to identify the most important requirements for its implementation. This research is limited to Al-Faw great port in Iraq for the year 2021.
