Abstract

The paper explores the development of seaports in the Baltic-Scandinavian Macroregion (BSM). The study covers the member States of the European Union (Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Estonia) and Norway. The author aims to identify the main directions of modernization seaport infrastructure in the context of the implementation of the EU transport policy. The following tasks have been set: to give a general description of the BSM seaports within the framework of the EU port transport system; to identify the most significant factors that influence their renewal; to identify relevant areas of technical re-equipment of their infrastructure. The research methodology was a factual analysis of documentary, journalistic, statistical and scientific sources from the EU, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and EU industry communities, which characterize the main programs and projects in this area, as well as the focus and requirements of conceptual and regulatory documents. The relevance of the work is justified by the importance of studying foreign experience and practical technologies of port management restructuring. It is concluded that the modernization of the infrastructure of seaports in the EU is carried out both during the development of global industry trends and in the process of implementing EU strategic decisions. The assessment of the activities of the EU and sectoral international organizations makes it possible to determine its main directions, including in the BSM countries. The use of new technologies gives ports competitive advantages by increasing the efficiency of port operations, optimizing the use of resources and energy.
