Blockchain technology (BC) offers an innovation platform for decentralized and transparent transactions in the maritime port industry. This technology allows guaranteeing trust, transparency and traceability of cargo and data to be tracked. Today, in the port systems of emerging market countries, BC technology is increasingly being incorporated into information and communication processes. In parallel, the social domain has begun to be explored due to the lack of link between the port and the city it occupies, and the need to incorporate public actors in decision-making at the governance level. In this sense, the present work aims to promote BC technology in order to transform data and information into useful knowledge for effective decision making, through the use of Crowdsourcing. A Crowdsourcing Blockchain CrowdBC conceptual framework and its architecture are generated for a port system in which the cyber-technological, social and cognitive domains (CSTC) of smart ports, the knowledge generation process and Crowdsourcing technology are interrelated. Finally, opportunities are discussed for ports that are in permanent development to reduce the gaps with the smart industry. As a discussion, two possible scenarios and recommendations for future implementations that consider the social and cognitive aspects of Industry 4.0 are presented.

利用区块链促进智能港口的决策


区块链技术（BC）为海港行业的去中心化和透明交易提供了一个创新平台。该技术可以保证货物和待跟踪数据的信任、透明度和可追溯性。如今，在新兴市场国家的港口系统中，BC技术正越来越多地融入信息和通信流程中。与此同时，由于港口与其所在城市之间缺乏联系，并且需要将公共行为者纳入治理层面的决策，因此社会领域也开始被探索。从这个意义上说，目前的工作旨在推广BC技术，通过众包将数据和信息转化为有用的知识，以进行有效的决策。众包区块链 CrowdB​​C 概念框架及其架构是为港口系统生成的，其中智能港口的网络技术、社会和认知领域（CSTC）、知识生成过程和众包技术是相互关联的。最后，讨论了持续发展的港口缩小与智能行业差距的机会。作为讨论，提出了考虑工业 4.0 的社会和认知方面的两种可能的场景和未来实施的建议。
