Abstract: Abstract Digital technology has injected new momentum into the development of the logistics industry. Drawing on panel data related to six major ports and their host cities in the coastal port clusters of southwest China from 2005 to 2022, this article employs a dual fixed-effects model, mediation effect model, and threshold regression model to explore the internal mechanisms of digital technology in driving the development of port logistics. The results indicate that digital technology can effectively promote the development of port logistics. Additionally, digital technology significantly enhances port logistics levels by optimizing industrial structures and attracting foreign investment. Furthermore, a single threshold effect exists in the process of digital technology supporting the development of port logistics, with higher levels of digital technology development exerting stronger promotional effects on port logistics development.
