Abstract: There has been an explosion of smart transport solutions and data sharing activities in recent years, focusing on seaports and inland (hinterland) gateways, as exceptional players in modern supply networks. Sharing the non-sensitive technical data amongst shippers, port and warehouse operators and transportation companies, transport authorities and other stakeholders as well can contribute to the establishment of a more resilient, effective and sustainable logistics system. In our paper, we investigate the available new solutions and techniques of port and inland waterway transport digitalization based on the literature and recent innovation projects. We are also presenting and evaluating local and national developments and findings. The goal of the research is to provide a conceptual framework for the evaluation and scenarios for the implementation to the Hungarian inland waterway transport sector, especially freight transport. Beside the prospective benefits we also identify critical factors (like trust, or the willingness of data sharing amongst partners), and form strategies for the first steps of supply chain digitalization.
