Analysis of the Indonesian port readiness for maritime autonomous surface ship operation

The purpose of this study was to assess the port authority organization's and its employees' preparedness to facilitate the operation of these self-governing vessels. This study was quantitatively carried out by assessing the capacity of port authority organizations and staff to determine the knowledge and skills of IT mastery and the degree of individual mental preparedness in the face of change.
