Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to define functional requirements for sustainable short sea logistics system from ports’ perspective. Research methodology: In this study, a qualitative research methodology is applied. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from various port representatives. Systemic approach was employed. The collected data was analyzed by using systems engineering method – requirements analysis. Results: Analysis shows that port representatives have quite similar attitudes towards sustainability in short sea shipping and see the role of ports as a vital element in multimodal transportation system. Main requirements for sustainable short sea logistics system, as were derived, are: centralized port network ownership, single digital platform for communication between parties, advanced telematics and control systems for cargo handling and infrastructure development in and outside the ports. Contribution: This study contributes to the knowledge creation on sustainability in short sea logistics from ports’ perspective.
