Entitled “Resilience of Information Flow in Port Operations“ Batista’s thesis addresses resilience in global supply chains, with a specific focus on the context of Portuguese seaports. In light of vulnerabilities highlighted by recent disruptions in supply chains, the research explores how digital transformation, driven by Industry 4.0, can aid in rebuilding more resilient and sustainable chains. The study investigates how to ensure the resilience of informational flows in port operations, particularly in the interaction between ports and their stakeholders in the hinterland.
