Efficient port logistic operations and management are critical for global trade and transportation services. The current port logistic handling systems are highly centralized and offer limited opportunities for collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Moreover, existing systems fall short of providing traceability, transparency, information security, and immutability of data stored and exchanged during various operational pro- cesses. As a result, the productivity of port terminals is adversely affected. Blockchain is an emerging technology that provides traceability, transparency, auditability through immutable prove- nance data of on-chain trusted transactions, in a decentralized manner without intermediaries or trusted third parties. In this paper, we discuss the potential role of blockchain technology in transforming port logistic operations and services, provide use cases and frameworks that improve port logistics operations. Furthermore, we employ permissioned blockchain architectures to map port logistics services to highlight system components, participants, and deployment alternatives to automate logistics operations. Finally, we outline open research issues and chal- lenges that are barriers to adoption

港口运营和物流管理的区块链应用和架构

高效的港口物流运营和管理对于全球贸易和运输服务至关重要。当前的港口物流处理系统高度集中,为不同利益相关者之间的合作提供了有限的机会。此外,现有系统无法提供在各种操作过程中存储和交换的数据的可追溯性、透明度、信息安全性和不变性。结果,港口码头的生产力受到不利影响。区块链是一种新兴技术,它通过链上可信交易的不可变来源数据以去中心化的方式提供可追溯性、透明性和可审计性,无需中介或可信第三方。在本文中,我们讨论区块链技术在改变港口物流运营和服务方面的潜在作用,提供改进港口物流运营的用例和框架。此外,我们采用经许可的区块链架构来映射港口物流服务,以突出显示系统组件、参与者和部署替代方案,以实现物流运营自动化。最后,我们概述了阻碍采用的开放研究问题和挑战
