About Green Inland Ports
Inland ports are an essential part of the EU’s transport network. The Green Inland Ports study aims to support European inland ports to become zero-emission, sustainable hubs connecting Europe. Through this, inland ports can contribute to cutting road traffic in their neighbouring areas.

Information on the study
Inland ports have environmental impacts through vessels, port operations, port-city and seaport connection activities. This study explores barriers to sustainable inland port management and development. The study also identifies good practices that can support the ports to overcome these barriers (including potential digital solutions).
