Review of smart ports in the European union

Ports today are facing a constant increase in operational data such as resource tracking, vessel operations, berth services, marine litter/pollution measurements, etc. Capacities that are currently in use are not sufficient and cannot cope with aforementioned requirements. Due to the lack of space and major expenses, some ports avoid a large expansion of infrastructure and have rather been implementing new, inexpensive and widely available smart technologies. This way, ports can effectively manage operational data, which will create new valuable information that are going to become the basis for tackling new challenges. In this context, many ports are interested in an advanced port concept called smart port in which the Internet of Things (IoT)-based communication infrastructure is applied. This paper will present a development and overview of smart port concepts in the European Union (EU) and its main benefits and values. Also, the idea of complex connection between the port and city itself will be examined and its importance will be evaluated.
