Society's increased demands for environmentally, socially and economically sustainable maritime transport in the archipelago have brought new challenges to the development of port infrastructure. Local and regional level public authorities with archipelagic ports face an increased pressure to develop port infrastructures to meet international- and national regulatory guidelines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase accessibility.

This project explores regulatory policies and strategies as well as challenges at public authorities in planning of sustainable development of archipelagic port infrastructures. The project comprises a structured literature review of published scholarly papers and regulatory policies and strategies on sustainable development of archipelagic port infrastructures. It further includes a case study of two regions, four municipalities and six port authorities. Semi structured group interviews conducted in the case study comprise knowledge about regulatory policies and strategies and challenges in development of archipelagic port infrastructures.
