ESPO (European Sea Ports Organisation)
Truck Transportation
ESPO is the principal interface between European seaports and the European institutions and its policy makers.
About us
The European Sea Ports Organisation was founded in 1993. It represents the port authorities, port associations and port administrations of the seaports of the Member States of the European Union and Norway. ESPO has also observer members in several neighbouring countries to the EU. The European Union simply cannot function without its seaports. 90 % of Europe’s cargo trade in goods passes through the more than 1200 seaports existing in the 23 maritime Member States of the EU and more than 400 million passengers pass through Europe’s ports every year using ferry and cruise services. Without seaports, the European Union would not exist as an economic world power. Without seaports, there would be no internal market. ESPO ensures that seaports have a clear voice in the European Union. The organisation promotes the common interests of its members throughout Europe and is also engaged in dialogue with European stakeholders in the Port and Maritime sector. ESPO works through a permanent secretariat in Brussels, a General Assembly, an Executive Committee, and 8 specialised committees.

🚨 Urgent Call for a Unified European Transport Network! 🚨 Isabelle Ryckbost, Secretary General of ESPO, expresses deep concern over proposed changes to the EU budget framework that could decentralize funding and weaken the European transport perspective. With member states gaining more control over how they allocate EU funds, there’s a risk that critical infrastructure projects, like port improvements, may be overlooked in favour of national interests. The TEN-T Regulation sets important standards, but if only major cross-border projects receive direct EU funding, we might regress to fragmented regional policies from the 1980s.
