EFINTIS aims to increase the efficiency of the intermodal transport flows in the programme area by upgrading management information systems. The project scope is to enable, improve or establish new ICT connections between different modes of transport for passengers as well as for goods (maritime, road and railway transport). 
The conference was opened by a welcome address by Ugo Patroni Griffi, President of the Southern Adriatic Sea Port Authority, followed by Darko Pekić, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Port of Bar, and Vito Antonio Antonacci, Director of the Mobility Department of the Region of Puglia. The representatives of the 4 ports (Bari, Bar, Durres and Termoli) presented Efintis project and the new ICT applications in light transport information systems, while the Albanian Institute of Transport presented a study on the development of intermodal logistic centers and ICT connections among them.
Taking advantage of the common background of the projects, focusing on ICT solutions for the logistic sector, the Port Network Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea, lead partner of DIGSEA, in the framework of the project’s study tour, illustrated the most recent trends in port development highlighting the added value of the outputs realised by DIGSEA, as to foster digitalisation in the port and maritime sector and promote cross-fertilisation between the projects.
The event promoted a fruitful discussion among stakeholders and policy makers on the importance of ICT tools in the logistic sector.
