N2 - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology is a part of supply chain systems but has not been fully integrated in the shipping industry to date. Port and terminal management teams already make use of this technology to verify cargo information, reduce waiting times and prevent bottlenecks. The adoption of RFID technology in the shipping industry can provide invaluable real-time information about a ship’s crew and cargo. This study deals with RFID-based solutions concerning issues of cargo security and handling, as well as tracking of the crew in emergency situations. Although some maritime companies have upgraded their fleet with modern management systems, there is still much to be gained by the wide use of more RFID applications in shipping. We will expound on some of the most useful RFID applications in the maritime sector and discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages.
