On November 10th, 2022, World Maritime University hosted our first SEANERGY Project workshop in collaboration with ENGIMMONIA Project on EU ports and alternative fuels.

Maritime Transport is an essential element of global trade and the economy. But even though the maritime sector brings substantial economic and social benefits, it has also an impact on the environment and the health of EU citizens in many areas.

While efficient ports are vital to the economic development of their surrounding areas, the related ship traffic, the handling of the goods in the ports, and the hinterland distribution can cause a number of negative environmental impacts.

The Sustainability EducationAl programme for greeNER fuels and enerGY on ports (SEANERGY) is an initiative financed by the European Union, within the framework of the research and innovation programme Horizon Europe.
