The TEN ECOPORT project is inspired by a large number of initiatives at European Union level, aiming to improve the sustainable mobility of people and freight along the maritime network. In this way, the SEE project has contributed greatly to the development of cooperation between port authorities in the Adriatic, Ionian and Black Sea regions (e.g. with the SEE MARINER – WATERMODE, SEETAC, ECOPORT8, GIFT, etc. projects). <\/p>\n

In particular, TEN ECOPORT aims to benefit from the results of ECOPORT8. ECOPORT8 has addressed the problem of environmental impacts affecting both port and surrounding areas, taking into account that the ports under consideration have a high population density. <\/p>\n

The project activities have created a first port network to establish, strengthen and transfer coordinated cooperation initiatives for the ecological management of maritime routes. However, the project highlights the barriers to defining a common Environmental Policy due to the different regulatory systems in the countries of South East Europe. <\/p>\n

Moreover, the exemption from agreements that characterises port operations makes it imperative to reduce production costs, with the result that an expensive policy is not implemented unless it is imposed by law.<\/p>\n

A second study that inspires this project is the extensive process of reviewing the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) policy in recent years. The main innovation supported by the new TEN policy is the concept of the ‘core network’ as part of the dual planning approach. This approach, which is largely supported by the stakeholders, has established the importance of regional networks in determining the future development of the TEN-T in order to enable further economic growth and economic and social cohesion. <\/p>\n

In fact, one of the biggest difficulties in strengthening cooperation between the countries of South-East Europe, and especially those from the Balkan region, is the lack of efficiency of mobility of people. It is well known that flights connecting these countries and the Italian regions participating in the SEE programme often pass through a wider European area, with high costs and long journey times. This situation is determined by the existing shift of axes that completely forget Southern Europe. <\/p>\n

Ports are currently one of the biggest opportunities to increase the relationship between the countries of South East Europe, and in fact, ports are seeing a growing trend in passenger mobility.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the strengthening of the Core Regional SEA-Network, as a precursor to the TEN networks has led the cooperation with ECOPORT8 to update the objectives with this new vision.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
