A holistic approach and stakeholder consultation are necessary before implementing a particular city logistics
measure. The need to implement sustainable urban logistics solutions is particularly important in seaports
located in cities. Such cities, particularly Gdynia, have a high intensity of cargo flows resulting from transport
connected with their port facilities. The purpose of this article was to identify the level of acceptance of
sustainable and innovative urban logistics solutions by entities that use the services of the seaport in Gdynia.
We investigated whether the proposed solutions found sufficient acceptance among the respondents, and which
of the proposed solutions were the most preferred by stakeholders. We hypothesized that urban logistics solutions
were not sufficiently accepted by the stakeholders of the seaport of Gdynia. In order to analyze the
awareness of the involved parties, we surveyed parties at the Port of Gdynia as part of the Interreg project
called TENTacle. Our findings did not support this hypothesis with respect to such measures as FQP, the use
of interactive city maps, night deliveries, and the use of ITS, as these are the solutions most preferred by the
stakeholders of Gdynia. The results of this study can therefore serve as an important tool for the city of Gdynia,
and similar cities, when preparing sustainable urban logistics plans.
