Project to project The project on the undergrounding of the railway to the port to promote sustainable and intelligent transport will increase its use and strengthen the connection of the Port of Malaga with the main logistics centers in its surroundings. This action will make the port area more competitive and reduce heavy urban traffic in the urban center. The project corresponding to the supply of electrical energy to ships aims to promote the development of clean technologies and renewable energies and, therefore, meet the objectives of modernization and decarbonization of transport infrastructures in the European Union. The initiative will analyze and evaluate the benefits and costs associated with the use of electrical energy as a source of supply to ships docked in the port, opening the way to deploy this technology before 2025. Finally, the Digitization Plan promoted by the Port Authority will mean a change in the management model of the public body, streamlining administrative procedures and reducing costs. The automation and integration of all operational processes of port management, providing value-added services to users; optimizing the use of data and consolidating the provision of the electronic service efficiently and safely are the main characteristics of the project. In addition, the Plan aims to improve the management systems of the public-port domain, environmental monitoring and the establishment of institutional and business alliances that contribute to the economic development of the hinterland, through technological innovation. The projects presented follow the line of 'Next Generation' based on the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the UN, in relation to issues related to the environment, the digital environment and the economy. On December 29, the validated projects will be taken to the Governing Council for subsequent referral to the National Executive, which will be the body that decides which ones will be carried out, as well as the amount of these European funds that will correspond to Andalusia.
