  19. REVIEW YOUR SCORE • To receive expert’s advice and customised recommendations on how to improve your environmental performance. • If you didn’t apply for a separate comparison of your port’s score with the European average, this comparison will be included in the SDM Review. • If you submit your SDM for an analytical review, an expert will subject your port’s environmental management to a gap analysis with regards to established environmental management standards and a detailed SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). During the review, the expert ensures a customised assessment based on your port’s top 5 priorities for action.
