The current business environment is characterized by constant fluctuations due to the rapid technological advances of our time. The era that we are traversing through has been called the 4th Industrial Revolution, which, as it entered the world of logistics, provided new possibilities in the distribution of goods and especially contributed in the evolution of the maritime supply chain. Companies are called upon to follow these new developments in order to be able to increase their future productivity and be competitive relative to their environment. The aforementioned changes have posed a challenge to corporations of such sectors, since what is needed is the transformation of a sufficient number of their procedures, constant training of the staff and the adoption of a different corporate ethos, which in turn leads to high investment costs.
