Ports are crossroads of goods and people, as well as source of prosperity for their territories, key to their economic development and job creation. Yet, like all other human activities, they can be source of nuisances at local – air pollution, noise, congestion – and global level – CO2 emissions.
The Port of Trieste and other ports in Italy, Croatia and Slovenia have been working in recent years to improve their environmental performance and efficiency through IT solutions, both within the North Adriatic Port Association (NAPA) and under various co-funded projects such EALING.
On these aspects, a conference entitled “Decarbonization and digitalization of ports and freight transport. The contribution of EU territorial cooperation” will be held in Trieste on 21st June 2023.
