| Description: | POORLY DEVELOPED PORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE STORAGE AND HANDLING OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MARINE ALTERNATIVE FUELS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR OBSTACLES IN THE PROCESS OF SECTOR’S DECARBONISATION PROCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE ADRION REGION. THE GREENROUTES PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE TRANSITION OF THE MARITIME TRANSPORT SECTOR TOWARD ALTERNATIVE MARINE FUELS SUPPLIED BY THE PORTS WITH ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE ADRION REGION. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A CARBON-NEUTRAL AND BETTER CONNECTED ADRION REGION BY PROMOTING DECARBONIZATION MEASURES IN THE MARITIME TRANSPORT. TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE PROJECT AIMS TO FACILITATE THE TRANSITION TOWARDS A CARBON-NEUTRAL MARITIME TRANSPORT SECTOR BY PROVIDING A ROADMAP FOR ESTABLISHING A GREEN MARITIME CORRIDORS BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PASSENGER PORTS WITHIN THE ADRION REGION. THESE CORRIDORS WILL BE BUILT UPON THE ADOPTION OF MARINE ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR SHIP PROPULSION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE PORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ITS BUNKERING AND HANDLING. ADVANTAGEOUS STARTING POINTS FOR MARITIME GREEN CORRIDORS IN THE ADRION REGION COULD BE CRUISE AND FERRY LINES AS A SHORT SEA SHIPPING MODE AND PORTS SERVICING THESE SEGMENTS OF MARITIME TRANSPORT. THE MAIN OUTPUTS OF GREENROUTES PROJECT INCLUDE STRATEGY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ADRION MARITIME GREEN CORRIDORS FOR CRUISE AND FERRY SHIPS WITH AN ACTION PLAN; ONLINE PLATFORM FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE TOTAL CARBON EMITTED AND CARBON FOOTPRINT PER PASSENGER; MEMORANDUM OF COOPERATION SIGNED BY PORTS, CRUISE AND FERRY OPERATORS, AND VALUE CHAIN STAKEHOLDERS. |
