New Reports and Conference Recordings

The POTENT-X website has recently been updated with new reports and conference recordings exploring how ports can navigate the energy transition and evolve into smarter, greener, and more resilient energy hubs.

Following the successful POTENT-X Annual Conference at the World Maritime University in Malmö, selected presentations are now available online through the project’s media corner. Visitors can watch talks on policy analysis, stakeholder engagement, port digitalisation, and green port transitions in the Caribbean to get insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of maritime transport.

D4 Policy Analysis and D7 Baseline Technical Requirements

At the same time, two new project deliverables have also been published:

D4 examines how European policies such as FuelEU Maritime, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), REPowerEU, and RED III interact in driving maritime decarbonisation. The analysis highlights both opportunities and challenges, including the growing need for hydrogen and e-fuels, differences between regional energy systems, and the complexity created by overlapping regulations.

D7 focuses on the digital foundations needed for future smart ports. It identifies key technical requirements for areas such as cybersecurity, digital twins, IoT integration, communication systems, and energy coordination — all essential for ports managing increasingly interconnected operations and energy systems.
