PRISMA is a €10.3 million initiative that has been selected by the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for its role in digitalising operations within the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).

This project is an initiative that focuses on real-time data management, fostering information exchange among logistics stakeholders, and improving maritime, rail, and road transport integration.

PRISMA also includes a Port Community System, Port Management System, navigation tools, and geographic information systems, enhancing internal coordination, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency.

There are a number of stated goals for this project, which include optimising resources, boosting competitiveness, and creating a virtual testing space (sandbox) for startups.

PRISMA is being implemented over four year-period and has a range of different partners in addition to APS, including the University of Seville, Serviport Andalusia, and IDOM Consulting Engineering.
