Smart Ports: os impactos da modernização dos portos para o mercado de trabalho do TPA

Abstract

The harbor modernization process driven by technological developments has changed the world port scenario through the adoption of the Smart Ports or Intelligent Ports model, which requires the interconnection of the entire port chain through the use of technologies, such as artificial intelligence, automation of the process and internet of things. In that regard, the present study seeks to understand the impacts of the implementation of smart ports for the job market of independent dockworkers (ID). Thus, it is intended to present the Brazilian port dynamics in order to describe how the independent dockworker is inserted in the national context and, proposes to identify, the impacts of Smart Ports actions for the ID labor market. For this, the research will use the deductive method, from an exploratory research based on secondary sources (articles, dissertation, thesis, books and laws). The study shows that the implementation of Smart Ports can extinguish the ID labor market due to the mischaracterization of its essential elements: seasonality, provision of services to various operators and labor intermediation.
