Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on improving operational efficiency, with a practical focus on Safaga Port. A random sample of 108 participants was analyzed using SPSS Version 28 and Smart-PLS Version 4. The results revealed a statistically significant relationship between digital transformation and improved operational efficiency. Therefore, the study recommends that the management of Safaga Port should prioritize investment in digital transformation initiatives and continue to expand their scope. Recognizing this as a vital investment that yields high returns, this transformation should be implemented through four key phases: the foundational stage, the gradual implementation stage, the maturity and continuous improvement stage, and finally, the continuous improvement and digital innovation stage.
