The ongoing globalisation and liberalisation of the international markets, including transport
ones, enhance the competition and accelerate vertical and horizontal integration in the global
scale. Those processes affecting directly the world industry and trade concern also maritime
transport and seaports. Due to this, the seaports are getting gradually an integral part of the
vertically integrating transport chains (intermodality), becoming important logistics centers and
parts of maritime clusters. The common transport policy influences the EU maritime transport
and seaports’ development, as well. The core of this policy is the idea of the sustainable development
in order to ensure the appropriate balance in economic, social, technical, spatial and
ecological terms on the European transport market. EU wants to focus on ‘from road to sea’
solutions by shifting the demand from road to maritime transport, for example. Moreover, the
policy the Union promotes the development of the logistics in order to create better synergies
between road, sea, rail and river and integrate various transport modes in logistics chains. The
latest Green Paper on Future Maritime Policy is a step towards a holistic approach which could
benefit to European ports. However, it is unlikely that there will be a harmonisation of port
policy soon. It is not clear yet whether the EU wants to support bigger seaports or rather struggle
for the development of regional and local ones (Polish ports, for example).
