Abstract: The paper aims to determine the importance of each dimension and sub-dimension of a digital port, in order to prioritize them to obtain a perspective on the digital solutions needed to be implemented in Romanian river-sea ports, based on the views of the stakeholders in the context of sustainable development. The importance of each dimension/sub-dimension was determined using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. The results revealed that port operations are the most important, followed by the environment, safety and security, energy, and staff training. The ranking of the dimensions/sub-dimensions characteristic of the analyzed ports allowed identifying the digital solutions useful for the technological transformations and management practices necessary for digitizing.
