The intensity of trade has profoundly transformed port logistics and global maritime traffic. Asian and European ports are competing fiercely with their technical and technological lead. New technologies – the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology - are steadily granting a competitive edge for port logistics chains while playing a major role in this global trade battle. Morocco is well aware of the opportunities offered by digital technologies applied to port logistics, and of the intense competitiveness between the world's ports in attracting trade flows. The country has developed a network of modern port infrastructures that meets international standards. The national port agency (NPA), owner of the port regulations, has adopted a strategy making digitalization and smart technologies such as Logistics 4.0, Blockchain and the Cloud, its battle tools to improve port logistics, integrate its partners into a common digital ecosystem and further enhance the performance of its container port terminals (CPTs) and all the partners present in the ecosystem. To understand this trend and its consequences, we conducted a study on the digitalization of NPA to survey the improvement of Casablanca port terminal performance indicators and on the future contribution of blockchain technology to the container terminal port logistics and all its actors. Our paper aims to present the main findings of the study.
