“Port Investments Study 2024” published

06.06.2024
PARIS. At its annual conference in Paris in late April, the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) released the results of its Port Investments Study 2024, according to which the European port management authorities’ investment needs will rise to 80 billion euros in the next ten years. Another key finding is that the investments in sustainability and the energy transition will be the second most important investment category for port authorities. Prepared by Dr Peter de Langen and the ESPO, the study is based on analysis of the investment needs of 84 port management bodies.
