This article assesses the potential of Mobility as a Service in passenger maritime transport from the supply perspective by collecting and analyzing data provided by interviews to key experts in passenger transport from both industry and academia. “Mobility as a service” in passenger maritime transport (also in this article referred as “Maritime MaaS”) describes the integration of passenger maritime services with land mobility into a single mobility service delivered through a unique platform for planning, booking, ticketing, and payment. The scope of this article is to explore the potential interest of mobility service providers to develop a MaaS that has as a backbone coastal shipping at the Aegean Archipelagos, in Greece. The Maritime MaaS ecosystem with its key actors is identified, while the perceived challenges, opportunities, and benefits envisaged by the adaptation of this innovative concept from urban transport to the maritime sector are recorded. Computer-assisted interviews were performed at a panel of 17 experts representing different types of decision makers. Participants were selected according to their current industry position or their academic profile. A content analysis with the use of NVIVO was conducted, followed by a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis based on the experts’ input, in order to assess the MaaS business environment. Results indicate that the maritime transport sector is relatively ready to adopt MaaS from a technological readiness perspective, while land transport seems to be in a lower level of technological readiness. PAYG (pay as you go) MaaS business model is preferred than a “MaaS package” model by most stakeholders. Finally, main challenges toward MaaS implementation are the discrepancies in reliability of service among different transport modes and the ferry fleet operational flexibility ceilings that are imposed by legal framework for ferry routings in Greece.

The article contains a detailed analysis of studies related to the use of existing and new principles of fuel economy, and reducing the cost of re-equipment and operation of vessels of the above projects. The authors of the article did not set out to analyze the technical features of these projects. Only by linking to these projects, the analysis was done for the entire fleet of this type as a whole. A technical and economic analysis of the characteristics, modeling of the main and auxiliary installations in the Matlab package, providing fuel economy on the example of ships of projects 1809 and CNF11CPD, is carried out. Then a physical simulation was carried out. As a result of testing a vessel with a rotary rowing electric installation (RSEU), a qualitative analysis of the data obtained was carried out, conclusions were drawn that allow us to judge the possibility of large-scale use of such installations in maritime transport.

Increasing relevance of the problem of energy conservation and use of alternativesources of energy in connection with global and local resource crises led to the formation of adeveloped system of international standards in the field of energy management, which is aimed atregulating and disclosing the content of the principles of energy efficient processes and development.Rational policy in enterprises of various industries and the implementation of energy-savingmeasures, particularly in the maritime transport. The dynamics of implementation of projects aimedat increasing the efficiency of energy use is growing steadily at different levels and in different sectorsof industry. It is widespread in the fields of design, modernization and reconstruction of energyefficient buildings and structures, construction of industrial infrastructure elements, technologicalproduction processes. Implementation of such projects is a priority line of activity for enterprises andcompanies of various types of economic activity. Accordingly, the leading sectors of industry develop strategies to improve environmental safety and energy efficiency - ship navigation is no exception.Indeed, the process of increasing energy efficiency is achieved by reducing fuel consumption, whichwithout exception leads to a reduction in the amount of waste products discharged into theatmosphere. Therefore, the problems of energy efficiency in order to increase requirements forenvironmental safety of transport and increasing responsibility of shipowners become the centralobject of research of current theory and practice of operation of maritime transport means. Anotherurgent issue is the improvement of universal principles of energy efficiency within the framework ofindividual ship-owning companies and the development of tools for economic analysis of energyefficiency of the own fleet, search for new ways to form professional competencies of shipcrewmembers in the field of energy conservation.

In recent years, the number of cyber attacks, virus carriers, and cybercrime on maritime transport facilities has increased significantly. The emergence of new types of maritime vessels, such as autonomous vessels, dependent entirely on information and communication technologies used for passengers, cargo and baggage transportation, requires legal regulation of relations in this area. Therefore, ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport and the need to adopt appropriate legal norms, standards and measures at both the international and national levels to manage maritime cyber risks are considered one of the most relevant topics for maritime transport. There is no single, systematic integrated approach, unification of requirements and rules in cybersecurity’s sphere of maritime transport [15]. In this regard, the authors analyze the issues of ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport, the legal basis of security: some international documents and national legal acts, regulating cybersecurity in maritime transport, will be considered, as well as the main question of how they are able to meet modern requirements for ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport.

This paper analyses how digital technologies implementation in the maritime transport sector companies can help in achieving the Blue Economy goals. Previous research offering a comprehensive overview of digital technologies in the maritime transport sector within the context of the Blue Economy is scarce. To fill this research gap, the economic effects of maritime transport are investigated, and the positive impacts of digital technologies on maritime transport are analyzed, all in the context of the Blue Economy. The authors have concluded that by implementing digital technologies in the maritime transport sector, the Blue Economy goals related to maritime transport (for example transport cost reduction, decreased harmful emissions generated during the voyage and at the berth) can better be achieved, etc.
