Seanergy Project issues its second trimestrial newsletter to keep our readers updated on the progress and actions of the project.

Users can engage this newsletter by subscribing through a form in our website or by visiting the Media Corner periodically.

On January 31st and February 1st, the SEANERGY partners had the pleasure to finally meet in person. This first presential meeting was hosted by the coordinator Magellan Circle at the Crowne Plaza in Porto.

Since the European Green Deal, aiming to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy, ensuring no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050, ports have been considered as essential in the green conversion of transport. The first step towards becoming a climate-neutral continent is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

Considering that energy transition in ports remains a relatively new topic, this meeting was key to define and decide on the frame of the SEANERGY project. After many discussions, it was agreed that the SEANERGY Project will focus on two main topics:

  1. Production of energy in ports
  2. The consumption of energy in ports (such as use of alternative fuels).

Impact of port emissions

The globalization of industrial and agricultural processes makes maritime transport (#shipping) a fundamental sector of the world economy. Overall, 25% of world-delivered energy consumption is employed for transport. About 75% of this energy is employed for road transport, 12% for shipping, and 12% for air transport (EIA, 2016).

What to Expect from the SEANERGY Handbook?

The SEANERGY Handbook will act as a comprehensive and interactive guideline of the Project Port Energy Transition Master Plan’s information and contents. The Handbook will support the port stakeholders to have a complete and deep understanding of the Masterplan facilitating the EU Port Decarbonization actions.
