Ensuring the uninterrupted deployment of allied forces, equipment, and resources is essential for transporting military cargo by sea. To ensure the smooth deployment of troops of North Atlantic members in the country, the country is rapidly developing host country support (HCS) capabilities. However, when transporting heavy and oversized cargo, the local road infrastructure (often not adapted to it) becomes a problem. To avoid the mentioned problem as much as possible, it is necessary to use water transport or railways. One of the possibilities for quickly adapting to changing conditions is the digitization of processes and the continuous modernization of infrastructure. However, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), approximately one-third of the world’s ports must still be ready for digitization. The infrastructure capacity of the Klaipeda State Seaport for the host country’s support has not been extensively studied. As the Lithuanian army expands, the scale of the HCS also increases, so it is essential to identify the capacity gaps of the Klaipeda State Seaport and submit proposals on increasing productivity. For this reason, it is necessary to assess whether the capabilities of the Klaipeda State Seaport are sufficient to fulfil international military obligations. The article aims to determine the infrastructure capacity of the Klaipeda State Seaport to ensure the host country’s support. To achieve the article’s goal, a systematic and comparative analysis of the concepts published in the scientific literature, methods of statistical processing of secondary data, and the ARIMA method were applied.
