Poland’s major seaports have agreed to jointly develop digital infrastructure between 2026 and 2028. The agreement between the port authorities of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Szczecin-Świnoujście aims to boost the efficiency of logistics processes, improve customer service, and strengthen the protection of critical port infrastructure. The project will be implemented in collaboration with Polish PCS, which is developing a digital platform for data exchange among port supply chain stakeholders – including terminals, shipping companies, agents, freight forwarders, carriers, and government bodies.
A key focus of the program will be the creation of solutions for managing vessel, rail, and road traffic, as well as synchronizing port operating systems. This will enable more efficient use of existing infrastructure and reduce delays, queues, and downtime in logistics operations. Furthermore, improved management of freight traffic will help alleviate the burden on port cities and reduce emissions from vehicles idling in queues.
Another vital element of the initiative involves enhancing cybersecurity and the resilience of port digital systems in compliance with new requirements, including the NIS2 directive. Port authorities note that instead of creating separate solutions, each entity will utilize a shared architecture and unified standards; this approach will reduce costs, simplify data exchange, and strengthen the position of Polish ports within European supply chains. The scale of investment will be determined following the completion of analytical work, with funding potentially sourced from the participants’ own resources as well as external sources.
