The project addresses environmental pressures in port and urban areas near ports caused by emissions from ships, port machinery, and transport. It supports the increase of Short Sea Shipping (SSS) in the Adriatic-Ionian Sea basin as a sustainable transport mode. The project undertakes joint actions to promote the use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, along with environmentally friendly last/first mile solutions. Key actions include demonstrating the sustainability of alternative fuels at ports for bunkering, fuel supply, and ship propulsion. The goal is to reduce emissions and promote a greener, more sustainable shipping industry in the region.
