Ports, and the future Maritime Industrial Strategy
EU Ports are the primary gateways for international trade. They connect maritime transport with inland transportation networks like railroads, rivers and highways. Many industries situated in the hinterland of ports would not be able to function and perform their activities without products and raw materials handled in ports.
EU ports create direct and indirect employment in areas such as shipping, logistics, warehousing, Customs, and even local manufacturing.
They also act as anchors for industrial clusters, attracting manufacturing, shipbuilding, energy, and logistics companies to the surrounding areas. This boosts local economies and can stimulate the development of new industries.
As global trade increases, EU ports and private terminals must constantly modernise to handle larger ships, improve efficiency, and reduce turnaround times. This requires investments in infrastructure and superstructure like cranes, automation, and digitisation of port operations.
EU Ports also play a vital role in fostering green shipping practices. The development of sustainable maritime fuel infrastructure, such as LNG and OPS, or hydrogen fuel, therefore, depends on forward-thinking maritime industrial strategies.
EU ports are strategic assets in terms of defence and security, but this characteristic should not be considered as a point of vulnerability. Through its reply to the European Parliament non-legislative Resolution on Building a Comprehensive European Port Strategy, the EU Commission has given concrete examples that demonstrate that the European Union has already taken strong action during the current mandate to strengthen competitiveness, security, resilience and the control of foreign influence in the European economy, including in ports.
Ports should not be stigmatized on issues such as drug trafficking as this oversimplifies a complex issue and ignores the broader context in which these activities take place. A port centred approach of the drug problem will not succeed. Commitments to act should be requested from all other segments of the maritime logistics chain.
The future EU Industrial Maritime Strategy must be inclusive and look at the entire maritime sector, fostering innovation, sustainability, and economic growth across a broader range of industries. It will be crucial that it encompasses everything from port operations to shipping, shipbuilding and marine technology, creating a comprehensive plan for the long-term health of the maritime economy.
09.09.2024 - Release of the Draghi Report on the Future of European Competitiveness – Brussels
The highly anticipated Draghi Report on the “Future of European Competitiveness” has been published, providing a comprehensive analysis of the structural challenges and opportunities facing the European economy.
The report highlights the urgent need to boost productivity, improve regulatory frameworks, and foster innovation to meet Europe’s political and economic goals. It underscores the critical role that transport, and logistics play in ensuring the EU’s economic connectivity and competitiveness. A well-functioning transport network is essential for the movement of goods, services, and resources, which drive economic growth, job creation, and social cohesion.
One of the key findings of the report is the urgent need for a regulatory reset to enhance the EU’s competitiveness. It emphasizes that Europe’s regulatory environment is overly complex and fragmented, often leading to inefficiencies that hinder growth. The report advocates for reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens, particularly those that impede cross-border transport and logistics operations.
The proposal to stress-test regulations for their economic and practical implications, along with efforts to quantify the cost of new legislation, is a major focus of the report. A streamlined and harmonised regulatory framework is considered crucial for the success of the Single Market, and the report urges the EU to adopt these recommendations in its future policies.

19.09.2024 – The 2024 European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) report published - Lisbon
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), which monitors the cybersecurity threat landscape through its annual ENISA Threat Landscape (ETL) report, released the 2024 ETL on 19 September. The report noted that, during mid-2023 and mid-2024, transport remained one of the EU’s most targeted sectors by cyberattacks in a yearlong geopolitical escalation.
Most attacks were of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) nature, which causes disruption on various levels. The transport sector suffered 21% of all DDoS events and, along with public administration, remains a target of so-called “Hacktivists”, largely driven by political and ideological motivations. Other notable risks for the transport sector include malware, social engineering (victim manipulation), data breaches, and information manipulation and interference.
The ETL highlights the increasing prevalence of supply chain attacks that target interconnected systems and digital infrastructure. The report recommends that organisations and businesses implement cybersecurity strategies. This is particularly crucial as cybercriminals are now leveraging AI tools to create more convincing or realistic content, such as phishing emails, and generate malicious code.
Finally, ENISA has formulated a series of strategic, policy and operational recommendations. It urges businesses to adopt a proactive cybersecurity approach to safeguard data integrity and mitigate risks. It also emphasizes the importance of continuously adapting to ever-changing cyber threats.

20.09.2024 – FEPORT replies to the Transport Block Exemption Regulation and the draft Land and Multimodal Transport Guidelines consultation – Brussels
On the 20th of September, FEPORT submitted its response to the public consultation concerning the draft Transport Block Exemption Regulation and the draft Land and Multimodal Transport Guidelines.
FEPORT reply welcomed the proposed texts as they depart from a holistic approach encompassing all sustainable transport modes as well as terminals.
In addition, FEPORT believes that the incorporation of interoperability aid aimed at ensuring uninterrupted traffic flows in the texts constitutes a positive signal as this type of aid will support coordination and efforts to establish intermodal data exchange platforms.
FEPORT’s position also stresses that creating relevant rules is not enough. Procedures to apply for aid should not be overly complex and accessible for companies. FEPORT therefore supports measures to reduce bureaucracy and simplify state aid procedures. Thresholds should not be set too low and possibly be linked to purchasing power indices. At the same time, economic operators should always be informed as early and comprehensively as possible about existing aid opportunities and implementing provisions.
FEPORT submission additionally makes the below recommendations aimed at further improving the texts:
- Eligibility criteria for aid to launch new commercial connections, should not be only based on distance covered per transport mode. Other factors such as operational costs, network capacity and the availability of terminals impact the competitiveness of transport options and should therefore be considered in the eligibility criteria;
- Aid for the construction, upgrade and renewal of multimodal freight terminals should also focus on the digital component;
- Definitions should be clarified in order to ensure that barges operating in seaports are also covered by the texts.

23.09.2024 - EU Commission study on benefits of market opening – Brussels
The European Commission released a comprehensive study focusing on the effects of competition across key EU infrastructure sectors. The report highlighted significant benefits, such as the diversification of services, enhanced operational efficiency, and the modernisation of long-standing operators.
Increased competition has driven innovation, with new market entrants introducing more efficient asset management practices and offering a wider range of services. This has also led to cost reductions and improved service quality for end users, benefiting the overall efficiency and competitiveness of EU infrastructure.
However, the study also identified several persistent challenges. Infrastructure across various sectors faces capacity limitations, with the need for substantial investment in modernisation and technological upgrades. Financial burdens for operators, particularly around expensive technological implementations, and complexities in cross-border operations remain major concerns. Additionally, ensuring a level playing field regarding State Aid continues to be a challenge, with some operators facing uneven competition due to varying national policies.
The findings of the Commission's study underline the need for continued efforts to address these challenges to unlock the full potential of competition in strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of EU infrastructure.

23.09.2024 - The European Commission publishes a report on “Rail market opening: competition leads to lower ticket prices, EU study finds” - Brussels
A comprehensive study examining the effects of competition in the EU’s rail market provides new insights into how liberalisation is influencing prices, service quality, and market dynamics in both passenger and freight rail transport.
Passenger Rail: Open Access vs. Public Service Obligation
- Open Access (OA) Services: The study finds that competition in Open Access (OA) passenger services, where multiple operators run along the same lines, has significantly reduced ticket prices and improved service quality. Countries that opened their markets early, such as Italy and Sweden, have seen price decreases of up to 28% immediately after competition was introduced. Notably, high-speed rail routes in Spain and Italy witnessed dramatic fare reductions, with competition pushing operators to offer more attractive pricing and improved services. Increased service frequency and upgrades, such as free Wi-Fi, have been noted across multiple countries.
- Public Service Obligation (PSO) Contracts: Unlike OA services, competitive tendering for PSO services has not directly affected ticket prices, as these are regulated by public authorities. However, competition has increased economic efficiency, with countries like Germany and Denmark reporting significant savings in public subsidies. In France, competitive tendering has led to increased service frequency and lower costs per train-kilometre. In some cases, operators have upgraded rolling stock and enhanced service quality as part of their bids to win PSO contracts.
Freight Rail: Cost Efficiency and Market Dynamics
- Price Reductions: The study indicates that liberalization in the freight rail market has resulted in a downward trend in prices. Case studies in France and Croatia show a steady decrease in freight costs since competition was introduced. However, perceptions about the impact of competition vary, with railway undertakings viewing liberalisation as beneficial for price reductions, while shippers are less convinced.
- Service Quality and Challenges: While competition has spurred cost efficiency among operators, the freight sector has not seen as much improvement in service quality due to infrastructure issues and network delays. Investments in intermodal solutions, which combine different modes of transport, have been a focus for some operators to meet the demands of modern logistics.
Key Challenges and Market Barriers
Despite the positive impacts of competition, several challenges remain:
- Barriers to Entry: New entrants face significant hurdles in acquiring rolling stock and accessing key infrastructure, which can limit their ability to compete effectively with incumbents.
- Incumbent Dominance: Incumbent operators maintain a stronghold on ticketing platforms, which can make it difficult for new operators to attract passengers and raise awareness about their services.
- Regulatory Oversight: The role of independent regulatory bodies is crucial in ensuring fair competition, especially in the allocation of PSO contracts and the management of infrastructure.
Looking Ahead.
The full impact of rail market liberalisation is still unfolding. In the passenger rail sector, EU legislation only mandated market opening in 2020 for OA services and in late 2023 for PSO services. As a result, the long-term effects of competition on pricing, service quality, and market efficiency will continue to evolve in the coming years.

10.09.2024 - Rotterdam terminals transition to shore power – Netherlands
Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) has announced its plan to transition its container terminals to shore power, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 35,000 tonnes annually. The transition is part of a deal with Rotterdam Shore Power (RSP), a joint venture between Eneco and the Port of Rotterdam.
The first vessels are expected to be connected to shore power by 2028, with full operational capability for both terminals by 2030. This would allow around 5,000 sea-going vessels to use shore electricity annually, contributing significantly to the port’s decarbonization efforts.
The shore power infrastructure, one of Europe’s largest such projects, will span around 5 kilometres of quay. RSP will oversee the construction and management of the facilities, while ECT and the Port of Rotterdam will manage the integration at the terminal and quay.
This initiative aligns with the Port of Rotterdam’s goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050, in line with the European Green Deal's objectives. The project is also part of ECT’s broader plan to achieve emission-free operations by 2035.
