Abstract
Maritime transport is vital for trade but a major GHG emitter. Ports 5.0 integrates digital transformation, sustainability, and human-centered development to cut emissions, improve efficiency, and foster gender equity in the workforce.
Despite automation and green energy advances, ports still face high emissions, inefficient resource use, and lack of diversity. Women remain underrepresented in leadership, limiting inclusive innovation. A sustainable system must balance technology and social equity to enhance resilience.
Ports 5.0 focuses on three areas: Emerging Technologies – AI, IoT, and automation to optimize energy use; Green Energy Transition – Adoption of renewables and storage solutions and Human-Centered Management – Policies and training to boost gender inclusion in key roles.
This paper developed a Sustainable Port Model, combining environmental innovation and workforce diversity, offering a replicable framework worldwide. Studies confirm that inclusive strategies enhance efficiency and sustainability. Ports 5.0 is shaping a greener, smarter, and more equitable maritime industry.
