Maritime transport has become important due to its ability to internationally unite all continents. In turn, during the last two years, we have observed that the increase of consumer goods has resulted in global shipping deadlocks. In addition, the future goes through the role of ports and efficiency in maritime transport to decarbonize its impact on the environment. In order to improve the economy and people's lives, in this work, we propose to enhance services offered in maritime logistics. To do this, a communications system is designed on the deck of ships to transmit data through a constellation of satellites using interconnected smart devices based on IoT. Among the services, we highlight the monitoring and tracking of refrigerated containers, the transmission of geolocation data from Global Positioning System (GPS), and security through the Automatic Identification System (AIS). This information will be used for a fleet of ships to make better decisions and help guarantee the status of the cargo and maritime safety on the routes. The system design, network dimensioning, and a communications protocol for decision-making will be presented.
由于其能够将各大洲国际联合起来的能力，海上运输变得非常重要。反过来，在过去的两年中，我们观察到消费品的增加导致了全球航运僵局。此外，未来还需要通过港口和海上运输的效率来减少其对环境的影响。为了改善经济和人民的生活，在这项工作中，我们建议加强海上物流提供的服务。为此，在船舶的甲板上设计了一个通信系统，通过使用基于物联网的互联智能设备的卫星群传输数据。在这些服务中，我们突出了冷藏集装箱的监控和跟踪、全球定位系统 (GPS) 的地理位置数据传输以及通过自动识别系统 (AIS) 的安全保障。这些信息将用于一队船舶做出更好的决策，并有助于确保货物和海上航线安全的状态。我们将介绍系统设计、网络尺寸和决策的通信协议。
