Title A bibliometric analysis of sustainable development goals in the maritime industry and port sector
Year 2024
Published
Abstract The maritime industry, a cornerstone of global economic growth and development, is inextricably linked to the function of ports, serving as vital infrastructure for economic expansion. The present article undertakes a comprehensive review of extant literature, identifying sustainability trends that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within both the maritime industry and the port sector. A bibliometric analysis was conducted utilising the capabilities of IRaMuTeQ and VOSviewer software. Upon examination of the research outputs, associations with terms such as "port city model", "circular economy", "blue economy", and "energy efficiency" emerged as dominant research directions. A qualitative examination was undertaken based on classifications by keywords, authors, content, and origin of publications. This analysis revealed a marked prominence of the European context within these studies, indicating an academic emphasis on the numerous ports in Europe. Furthermore, it was observed that a significant proportion of the research is affiliated with esteemed publishers such as the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, Taylor & Francis, and Elsevier. Notably, areas demonstrating significant research potential revolve around themes of sustainability, management, and maritime policies. Despite a noticeable increase in publications, a clear academic gap remains. This is particularly evident when considering the complexities of aligning port-specific operations with the ambitious 2030 Agenda. By addressing this shortfall, this study contributes to the academic discourse on SDGs within the maritime and port sectors. Moreover, it advocates for strategic policy shifts in line with the SDGs. Ample evidence underscores the pressing need for increased interdisciplinary cooperation in this field. A salient observation from this study underscores the necessity for enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration.
