| Abstract | ||||
| Maritime transport is a critical mode of transport, enabling worldwide trade, supply chains, utilization of resources, and overall development in the economy. It has an extensive effect on many sectors, directly and indirectly. Egypt borders on the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Red Sea, allowing it to be positioned at one of the main international maritime shipping lanes and transport routes. Along with Egypt's most recent initiatives, including the development of port capabilities, the sector must deal with issues of regional instability, which may impair its overall performance. The purpose of this study is to empirically assess the effects of new trends in maritime trade, such as port disruption, structural shifts in globalization, change in climate, and external disruptions, on the performance of Egypt's maritime transport, as keeping on the role of digitalization on enhancing the performance within those trends. A quantitative approach is used where an online survey was used as a tool to collect data. Using convenience sampling, a total of 394 participants from Egyptian Maritime Transport sector contributed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to analyse the survey through SPSS and AMOS software. The findings supported all hypotheses and declared the effect of these trends on the maritime sector in terms of key performance indicators, or KPIs, including expenses, handling rates, waiting time, costs and others. Finally, the study filled a gap in the literature by providing participants and decision-makers with more knowledge regarding the development of Egypt's maritime transport sector. | ||||
