This questionnaire helps develop a tool for the examination of a digitalisation status in South Baltic (SB) Small Ports. This digitalisation tool refers to a process-based approach that is applied to a given port. The aim of these digital technologies is to improve cargo flows, environmental and economic efficiency, e.g. reduction of parking-related transport in port terminals; reduction of delays; shorter travel times; safety and security (Blockchain); environmental compliance (dynamic traffic control; les congestion); cost reduction; availability and reliability; financial business concepts; client attraction (e.g. from core ports) and branding.

Once the tool is developed, it will be applied in SB small ports. The auditing will be implemented by Project Partners, Associated Partners and other small ports – fellow ports. The ports will be benchmarked and indexed with the online Connect2Small Ports digitalisation index (also used beyond the project life).
