The global port and maritime industry is experiencing a new paradigm shift known as the artificial intelligence transformation (AX). Thus, domestic container-terminal companies should focus beyond mere automation to a paradigm shift in AI that encompasses operational strategy, organizational structure, system, and human resource management. This study proposes a resilience-based AX strategy and implementation system that allows domestic container-terminal companies to proactively respond to the upcoming changes in the global supply chain, thus securing sustainable competitiveness. In particular, we aim to design an AI-based governance model to establish a trust-based logistics supply chain (trust value chain). As a research method, the core risk factors of AX processes were scientifically identified via text-mining and fault-tree analysis, and a step-by-step execution strategy was established by applying a backcasting technique based on scenario planning. Additionally, by integrating social control theory with new governance theory, we designed a flexible, adaptable, and resilience-oriented AI governance system. The results of this study suggest that the AI paradigm shift should be promoted by enhancing the risk resilience, trust, and recovery of organizations. By suggesting AX strategies and policy as well as institutional improvement directions that embed resilience to secure the sustainable competitiveness of AI-based smart ports in Korea, this study serves as a basis for establishing strategies for the domestic container-terminal industry and for constructing a global leading model.

Climate-driven sea ice decline is accelerating the commercial use of Arctic routes and raising the need for Green Shipping Corridors that couple decarbonization with safety and ecosystem protection. This study introduces the concept of Arctic Green Maritime Data—environmental, meteorological, operational, and emission datasets generated in polar navigation—and examines how the EU Data Act can serve as a legal–institutional backbone. Using a multilayered integrative analysis, we (i) interpret core provisions on user access, portability, compensation, public-interest requests, cloud switching, and interoperability; (ii) map the Act’s roles of data holder, user, and recipient onto shipping stakeholders; (iii) assess whether polar operational datasets qualify as “data generated through the use of a product”; and (iv) derive a contractual architecture for corridor operations. We propose a three-layer governance model: firm-level instruments (a Standard Arctic Green Maritime Data Transaction Agreement, enterprise data governance architecture, and FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory) based contracting), association-level tools (industry model terms, public-purpose data protocols, and a neutral data-trust intermediary), and IMO-level integration aligning EU Data Act principles with Polar Code and MARPOL. The analysis showed that structured rights and obligations reduce vendor lock-in, enable safe public-interest data flows (with emergency access and fair compensation), and improve interoperability across clouds and jurisdictions. The results provide implementable pathways for shipping companies to turn Arctic Green Maritime Data into strategic assets while supporting sustainable and resilient green shipping corridor operations.
