The model of Europe's energy transformation, secured by cheap gas supplies from Russia, built over decades has collapsed. The continent has managed to de-russify the supply of primary energy sources quite successfully, but it is paying a high price for it. Another difficult winter and new challenges lie ahead of us.

PARTNERS: Association of Maritime Cities and Municipalities / Association of Small Sea Ports

INTRODUCTION: Presentation of the report on the state of small sea ports from 2019 and 2022 - Wiesław Chabraszewski - acting Director of the Supreme Audit Office's Branch in Szczecin

MODERATOR: Rafał Zahorski - plenipotentiary of the Marshal of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship for maritime policy

Arkadiusz Zgliński - President of the Management Board, Elbląg Seaport Authority SA* Aneta Szreder-Piernicka - Commercial Director, Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports Authority SA

COMMENTATOR: Jerzy Wcisła – Senator of the Republic of Poland

The 2022 report by the Supreme Audit Office indicates that one of the most important advantages of most small seaports is their multifunctionality and the possibility of developing further forms of port activity, based on existing field resources and modernized and expanded port infrastructure. The weakness of these ports in the functional aspect results primarily from the seasonality of some economic functions and the lack of development of complementary functions. The main threats related to the development of small ports are the lack of specific plans of some local governments to use ports as growth poles for the immediate environment, as well as the limited funds that port communes can invest in infrastructure development.
