Sažetak: As critical nodes of global trade networks, ports are increasingly exposed to climate related hazards which threaten their operation. The Climate Resilient Port Infrastructure project (CLARION), funded by Horizon Europe, tackles this challenge through research in port infrastructure resilience across four major European ports. The focus of this paper is to present the impact assessment framework developed within the CLARION project, which presents itself as Key Performance Indicators (KPI), sorted in five major groups which are reliability, mobility & operational efficiency, economic performance, environmental performance and technical KPIs, and sorted in three different resilience phases, preparedness, response, recovery. CLARION project consists of 10 Pilot Demonstrators. In this paper the framework is applied to Pilot Demonstrator 1, Smart & sustainable climate resilient quay walls, performed at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. This analysis demonstrates that the integration of Digital Twin technologies and remote sensors have the potential to enable transition from assumption-based design to data driven condition assessment, which would improve structural reliability, reduce construction and maintenance costs while also lowering carbon footprint. Proposed framework effectively supports more informed maintenance planning, risk reduction long term sustainability and climate resilience of port infrastructure.
