The Port of Genoa plays a central role in Italy's digital and organizational transformation of logistics hubs. Through the implementation of an intermodal appointment system, Genoa is enhancing the coordination between ports, logistics hubs, and hinterlands. This system enables real-time digital interaction across the logistics chain, reducing congestion, improving traffic flow, and boosting terminal efficiency. Genoa’s Port Community System (PCS) integrates public and private digital infrastructures, enabling automated management of customs, cargo handling, and vehicle scheduling. As a key initiative under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the port supports the shift toward data-driven logistics, with technologies like IoT, AI, and Blockchain. Genoa is a benchmark for smart port evolution, aiming for seamless, paperless operations. Port of Genoa improves environmental performance by reducing idle times and optimizing vehicle circulation. Genoa's governance model, combining innovation and regulation, is crucial to this transformation.

Ultimately, Genoa is emerging as a leading hub in the European freight and intermodal transport network.
