European Union policies and funding for Smart Port model implementation

Port activities are of great importance in the European Union. In recent times, digitalization of the port business is increasingly present. As technology develops, and the global supply chain becomes increasingly digital, ports are adapting their activities and business models by implementing digital technologies. Thus, ports are becoming ''digital nodes''. The Smart Port model is considered to be the most prominent for the future development of the ports. The European Union institutions and organizations strive to provide the administrative and funding support, to keep up the pace with changes in the port business and implementation of the Smart Port model. In this paper, the role of relevant European Union institutions and organizations in Smart Port implementation is researched. The authors present a review of the relevant EU policies and funding for the implementation of the Smart Port initiatives/projects. Furthermore, the authors present examples of the Smart Port projects.
