With just under 8 million euros allocated, the tender will encourage port operators to adopt innovative solutions to boost energy efficiency, across the purchase of electrical vehicles and cargo handling equipment deployed in port operations, set to contribute to a sharp cut in carbon dioxide emissions. The strategic guidelines of the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority point forcefully towards a Green future for the Ports of Genoa - a sustainable, resilient, low-emission port which strikes a balance between economic development and environmental protection. Within this framework, other plans afoot include the completion of the installation of on-shore power supply facilities at both passenger and cargo terminals, the production and storage of solar energy to serve the port cluster across a smart grid, and the upgrade of last-mile rail infrastructure to boost sustainable intermodal transport to/from the Ports of Genoa, Pra, Savona and Vado Ligure.
