The ocean container industry (OCI) had a strong growth in last 3 decades with the entire maritime economic. Despite the container volume of terminal had doubled in each year, but the productivity and security concerns remained stagnant. From the perspective of OCI, the investment on new technology becomes a critical factor for all container operators to stay competitive in this market.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a new technological advance using miniature electronic chips replacing the traditional barcode systems currently used. They are widely regarded as increasing efficiency with the ability to support digital transmittance, radio communication, and security encryption. The RFID is attached to the cargo container box and identified via wireless radio. Its many advantages including independent automation, non-directional scanning, wireless identification, anti-staining, rewrite capability, and huge storage capacity, in which all make RFID the ideal tool for container cargo control, tracking and information gathering.

This study is based on Roger’s Diffusion of Innovation Theory and focuses on the maritime container cargo transportation industry at Taiwan Kaohsiung harbor. This research intends to examine the critical factors that affect cargo container operator’s willingness to adopt RFID technology. Using survey method, the result indicate high percentage of willingness (93.33%) on the adoption of RFID technology, the result clearly demonstrated the high level acceptance of RFID to increase container’s productivity and security operations.
