Background: Tual City is a region with the largest tuna potential in Indonesia, which can be utilized for the escalation of maritime resource exports to various countries via sea routes. However, the utilization of this potential is still far from optimal, influenced by various factors such as the relatively low social and economic conditions of the Tual community. Furthermore, limited access to the global market due to a lack of supporting infrastructure and low technology adoption is a primary factor hindering the development of Tual City's fishing industry. In its logistical processes, the port in Tual City relies solely on manual loading and unloading, leading to distribution delays, increased logistic costs, and a decline in product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to maximize port performance with technology assistance to facilitate the distribution of tuna products while simultaneously enhancing the implementation of the Blue Economy concept in Tual City. Methods: This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Secondary Data Analysis methods to position TUAL DOCK TECH as a solution to the status quo in Tual City. Findings: This innovation is expected to strengthen Tual City's tuna potential by up to 50 percent through the revitalization of the container port and advanced infrastructure, establishing the region as economically independent and as a city that successfully implements the Blue Economy concept optimally and sustainably in Indonesia. Conclusion: Implementation of TUAL DOCK TECH can be the alternative solution the Tual City’s structural socio-economic problems. This innovation can also bring the city’s economic dependence status to be more environment friendly based, which is Blue Economy Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty aspect refers to the integration of IoT into the infrastructure of the container port for loading and unloading purposes and to facilitate tuna fishermen in the fishing process. Additionally, this innovation integrates an IoT-based quality control system in the port's cold storage to ensure compliance with national export standards.
