Abstract: Abstract The functionality of European ports is the central interest of worldwide industry in current times. After the pandemic, ports must reassure that they are ready again to create economic and social value to the global economy as they manage to sustain their functions and continue their operations in an environmentally friendly manner. Healthy environment, safety issues, wind and solar energy and waste management are some of the many axes that current assessment will be based on. Master ports of Europe will be compared based on their environmental responsibility and performance. At the same time, climate change demands modifications to port operations and functionality. What is the role of robots in nowadays transportation? How automated processes affect in overall sustainability? Digitization of processes and innovation in operations are key elements of assessment in transport industry. Still each port follows specific rules, and native management style let alone must be aligned to current government policies. Does this in line mean that power countries play crucial role to the maintenance and further development of environmental management system that master ports follow?
