“EO4 the port of the future” is an ESA-funded project (4000143660/24/I-DT- EO Best Practice 2023 Industry Sector C) that investigates how the use of state-of-the-art EO and geoinformatics can operationally be used to enhance the port operations serving the port business operations, but also the security and environmental sustainability of ports and harbors. The traditional processes used by port operators are examined, in order to enhance them with potential using modern approaches, and innovative concepts not yet fully implemented, like automated processes and cloud-based platforms. , are incorporated to optimize port performance metrics.

As a result, a comprehensive framework to utilize EO data in the port sector will be conceptualized and implemented at the GTIF platform. Within the project, industry best practice guidelines will be derived via extensive partners’ and stakeholders' collaboration, to ensure optimal exploitation of EO solutions in ports in alignment with EU and international regulations.
