Digital transformation is a topical theme in shipping research and professional\npractice, today. Our paper aims at developing a comprehensive framework of\ndigitalization technologies and their maritime business implications, grounded on\navailable evidence. In order to understand the full complexity of shipping\ndigitalization activities, we addressed technology and management aspects in a\ncoalesced framework. Our research follows a qualitative, case study approach. Five\ncases of advanced, shipping incumbentsâ?? digitalization activities were investigated.\nOur research outcome is an overarching theoretical model, which systematizes the\ntechnological components (technology typology), the prevailing management\nrationales (strategic drivers) and determinant factors (practices) of shipping\ndigitalization.
