Software developed for organizations operating in maritime freight transportation tends to be very complex, as it needs to handle documentation and the planning of a wide range of cargo and equipment, always complying with the different international regulations, sanctions, and local requirements of software integration with different port systems. At the same time, it must be flexible so as to be able to react in a timely manner to the changes in the turbulent business environment. The goal of this research is to provide a new Agile approach for requirements engineering for organizations operating in the maritime freight transportation industry, that is tailored to specific needs of these enterprises and introduces as many benefits from Agile as possible, to achieve needed flexibility. The proposed approach has its roots in related work on agile approaches and a case study in a maritime freight transportation company.
