This article examines the characteristics of human errors in processing transportation requests. The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in maritime transportation is explored. The main methods and technologies used for automating and optimizing the handling of transportation requests are analyzed, along with their impact on reducing the number of errors. Examples of successful AI implementation in large companies are provided, confirming the positive influence of these technologies on overall operational efficiency and customer service levels. Introduction Maritime transport plays a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the movement of goods between continents and contributing to economic growth and international integration.

This paper addresses the challenge of identifying the paths for vessels with operating routes of repetitive paths, partially repetitive paths, and new paths. We propose a spatial clustering approach for labeling the vessel paths by using only position information. We develop a path clustering framework employing two methods: a distance-based path modeling and a likelihood estimation method. The former enhances the accuracy of path clustering through the integration of unsupervised machine learning techniques, while the latter focuses on likelihood-based path modeling and introduces segmentation for a more detailed analysis. The result findings highlight the superior performance and efficiency of the developed approach, as both methods for clustering vessel paths into five classes achieve a perfect F1-score. The approach aims to offer valuable insights for route planning, ultimately contributing to improving safety and efficiency in maritime transportation.

Without maritime transportation, the global economy would cease to exist. Accounting for 80% of worldwide trade, the maritime transportation industry influences the economic sustainability of each and every country as it provides a safer, more viable method of international commerce. Maritime shipping is the more preferred method, but oceanic travel is an area that is greatly congested with a plethora of serious conflicts. Thus, Israel's startup ecosystem is using advanced intelligence to secure the knot with innovative technologies working towards solving the issues associated with maritime transportation. Each startup listed below is hyper-focused on a specific maritime transportation issue– creating a culmination of service towards such a widespread struggle.
