Artificial Intelligence Implementations:

Towards Shaping the Future of the Digital World

23-25 February 2025

n an ever-growing world of possibilities and innovations, yet facing many challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the maritime transportation and logistics sectors in the near future. Ultimately, AI will shape a more efficient, accurate, and secure future for the next generations.

AI will fundamentally transform every aspect of the maritime and logistics industry, enhancing the way goods are transported, monitored, and managed across the globe.

AI's capabilities in analyzing vast amounts of data, predicting outcomes, and optimizing operations are proving invaluable for the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of seaport operations. From enhancing navigational systems and automating cargo handling to improving supply chain efficiency and reducing carbon footprints, the integration of AI not only expedites operations but also paves the way for a smarter and more connected world through ports.

However, to ensure the successful application of AI, it is essential to build a digital infrastructure comprising effective, rapid, and large communication networks to allow for the real-time exchange of data and knowledge between different partners and elements of the operation.

MARLOG 14 highlights the best practices and efficient applications of artificial intelligence systems through modern innovations and technology, and their role in shaping the future of the digital world alongside other smart systems.

Language

Research abstracts and papers have to be written in English language, as well as all PowerPoint presentations. Presenters should be sufficiently fluent in English to run presentation and discussion on high academic standards.

Schedule

Date, time and session for oral presentations are displayed in the Conference Program. Presenters can meet the chairman of each session at the beginning of the break before session.

Duration

The time slot for each presentation is 20 minutes for regular presentations. Session chairs will hold presentations strictly to the allotted time. Questions will be viewed and discussed at the end of the session.

PowerPoint Template

The conference organizers provide the templates for preparing the presentations. The authors are not allowed to use templates with colorful backgrounds and are entirely responsible for the presentation content (order, the loading, graphics...etc.). The template will be available for download after confirming the approval of your paper. For further instructions, consult the Conference Technical Staff or the Organizing Committee.

Submit and TEST presentation files in advance

Authors should send their presentations to the organizing committee 2 days before the conference. If not ready, author should provide a copy (preferably on a USB memory stick or USB memory drive) to the Conference Technical Staff at the beginning of the day to print out them for simultaneous translators. Presenters can have the opportunity to check their presentations during the break before session starts.

Note: Presenters are not allowed to detach the session laptop and attach their own notebook/laptop to the LCD projector in the session hall.

Presentation files format

PowerPoint files (*.ppt, *.pptx) are recommended. Movies or animations in MPEG, Windows Media, AVI, etc., should be tested with the Conference Technical Staff during the break before session starts.
