The strategy of this project is also to harmonize the ICT actions of the region with EU standarads and requirements. In order to have an effective maritime and other intermodal transport connections these requirements need to be met. With detailed analysis of technological environment in port systems of Bar, Bari, Durres, Termoli and other important transport subjects in logistic nodes of Albania, Italy and Motenegro, the neccessity for futher ICT development is recognzied as a main step towards creating regional cooperation network. By upgrading and optimizing existing PCS platforms in Bar, and Bari and by setting a milestone and forming a ICT tools in Durres and Termoli, the door for futher integration is open, even more so with the Develoment plan for establishment of logistic ceneters in Albania and the possibility of their ICT connecting. Considering these actions, the region will benefit thanks to conrete ICT upgrades and methological tools that are to surpass the life of the project and help regional multimodality by producing impact on the region with conrecte actions and measures. It is also expected, that, through EFINTIS project, the activities and the main ouputs will not only serve the partnership but will also serve as a channel for enhancing stakeholders involvement and planning capacities,  transport competences, operators efficiency since all actors are facing similar obstacles in terms of multimodal transport.
