Emissions reduction at the ship-port interface is one of the key drivers to reach the IMO 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation goals and to face the key challenges of the EU Green Deal. Regulatory, technical, operational and economic actions to reduce GHG emissions are required to move towards a lower-carbon future. Establishing a suitable framework based on EU and national legislations for a harmonised European approach to the Onshore Power Supply (Cold Ironing) is at the heart of EALING Action.

Shift to rail is one of the main challenges to reach the Green Deal objectives in transport and one of the key issues in the European Year of Rail. However, a modal shift towards rail has not occurred yet.

One of the investment programs to reverse this negative trend is the INTERREG Central Europe REIF Project, which will have its Transfer Conference on 9th March 2022.

REGISTER NOW – REIF TRANSFER CONFERENCE

During the event we’ll go through the existing and future international policies and measures to accelerate the modal shift and through the REIF Project actions implemented. Furthermore, the voice of the international associations representing industry players will join the debate to deepen the state of the art and their perspectives.

The event will be also the stage for the Award Ceremony of the Shift to Regional Rail Award, there is time until Thursday 17th February to apply.

Safety and security in the decades to come for the Adriatic-Ionian area | INTESA Project

by & filed under Port infrastructure, Project news.

INTESA Project establishes a network among the National Maritime Administrations of Italy and Croatia and the main Port Authorities of the Adriatic Sea (Venice, Trieste, Ravenna, Ancona, Bari, Rijeka, Ploče and Split).

The scope is to harmonise and optimise the entire maritime transport procedures in order to make port and maritime transport system more efficient and safer.

Specifically, the project is dedicated:

  • To strengthen maritime safety & security through the creation of a cross-border framework for monitoring and data sharing.
  • To develop a reliable and resilient transport maritime network connected with the hinterland, in order to reduce procedural constraints and bureaucratic burden.
  • To develop a competitive Adriatic Port System through the facilitation of information exchange between ships and onshore competent authorities.

The EU’s new digital single transport environment: e-FTI regulation and Customs | SMART-C Final event

by & filed under Digitalization, Port infrastructure.

On 14th December was held during the Connecting EU Insights December edition the Final Event of the SMART -C project, led by Central Adriatic Sea Port Authority. The event was focused on the EU’s new digital single transport environment: information sharing and interoperability among IT platforms together with a uniform legal framework (e-FTI) are crucial factors towards the EU’s new digital single transport environment that will enable cut of costs for operators, removal of barriers, reduction of the environmental footprint, increase of security and effectiveness in the new EU transport single market.


Representatives from DG MOVE, DG TAXUD, CINEA, ALICE, Central Adriatic Ports Authority, Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency, Port of Antwerp, ICCS guided the audience in deepening these topics and through the final results of the CEF funded project SMART-C (Scalo MArotti virtual Corridor), discovering how AI technology virtually extends the Port of Ancona facilities through the creation of a virtual tunnel for the secure transfer of the cargo from the embarking/disembarking areas from/to the Customs Gate.
