The fourth industrial revolution or industry 4.0 made a lot of research about plans, implementations, and other actions that will lead to sustainability. The concept of sustainability is meeting current demands without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In the past few years everything has been smart about transforming manual data into digital data. This research was carried out with the concept of smart port development plan in Indonesia and Batu Ampar Port as a case in this study which is a free trade area and free port with the arrival of ships and a high volume of loading and unloading of goods. This research uses a descriptive approach by reviewing and analyzing some relevant literature as a source. It also examines the theoretical concepts of port development resulting from previous research. Smart port is basically supported by high efficiency digital technology, competitive added value for the surrounding community, automation, and ultimately the port will improve environmentally friendly aspects, increase safety and security standards, and increase productivity. The aim of this research was conducted to identify the current situations of Batu Ampar port and the possibility of applying the smart port concept. The results of the research from the three aspects studied showed the application of the smart port concept was suitable to be applied. Thus, the benefits of this research are expected to help Batam authorities (BP) to develop Batu Ampar Port.
