What is Smart Port? Why we have to build smart ports and how? First of all, ports are a social and economic existence with a long history. They are links between “water” and “city”, and almost all the cities are built by the water at all times all over the world. With the development of society and economy, ports are not only the distribution center and logistics hub of domestic and foreign trades, but also the barrier and key node of national social and economic security. Various industrial zones and cities relying on port development follow a same development path of “promoting port with city and invigorating city with port”. Smartness falls into another social, economic and cultural category. Traditional culture regards it as a symbol of intelligence and wisdom, which is reflected in the context of Buddhism as a better ability to understand and solve problems. In the modern sense, smartness represents an innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development ecology. The concept of Smart Port and its construction reflect an inevitable trend of historical development. Meanwhile, Smart Port extends the functional concept of traditional port to waterless port, logistics zone, bonded zone and free trade zone.
