BLUE PORTS | D2.5 Identification of present and future skills needs 434. ANALYTHICAL REVIEWFrom the results of the survey and the NTCs, it can be deduced that the Green Transition and Digitalization are reshaping the port sector across Europe.KEY DRIVERS OF GREEN TRANSITION BY COUNTRYBy 2030, Georgian ports will be widely adopting zero-emission technologies and digitalization. Key advancements include:%u2022 Zero-emission technologies: Electric cranes, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and shore power (cold ironing) systems will significantly reduce emissions. Expertise in electrical engineering and renewable energy management will be essential.%u2022 Waste management: Advanced systems will handle and reduce waste, requiring skills in environmental technology and data analysis.%u2022 Digitalization: The integration of smart technologies, IoT, and AI will optimize port operations, demanding knowledge in cybersecurity, data analytics, and maritime logistics.The Green Transition in Greek ports will be driven by technologies such as:%u2022 Cold ironing (OPS): Driven by EU regulations, OPS will reduce emissions by allowing ships to use electricity from shore. Port professionals will need expertise in electrical infrastructure.%u2022 Alternative fuels and renewable energy: Fuels like ammonia and methanol will be adopted, along with renewable energy integration, demanding skills in sustainable energy technologies.%u2022 Automation and circular economy: Digitalization, IoT, and waste reuse will be key, creating demand for professionals skilled in robotics, AI, and circular economy practices.By 2030, the Italian port landscape will focus on:%u2022 Biofuels, LNG, and Cold ironing: The increasing use of these fuels will require new infrastructure and specialized skills.%u2022 Innovative mobility: Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles will drive port logistics, necessitating training in propulsion systems and electrical maintenance.%u2022 Digitalization and upskilling: Digitalization will transform operations, requiring port operators to update their skills to manage technological innovations.
