Interreg North Sea Programme’s Post

The last call to register to this deeply recommended webinar on the transition of public transport towards circularity!

Italy is one of the leading market of the global #maritime industry, both for the high number of shipyards on the territory, as well as for the port infrastructure which is central in the Mediterranean area crossing the main international routes. The decarbonisation of the maritime sector is high on the agenda and will involve the entire maritime supply chain. Want to know more about the future industrial and strategic planning? Join our seminar on "Green opportunities in Italy" organized in cooperation with NCE Maritime CleanTech. #greenmaritime #decarbonization

🚢🌊 The Vital Role of Maritime Transport in the North and Baltic Seas The North and Baltic Seas are not only stunning natural wonders but also vital arteries of global trade. These interconnected bodies of water play a crucial role in facilitating maritime transport, enabling the smooth flow of goods and fostering international collaboration. Let's dive into why maritime transport in these regions is of paramount importance. 🌍 International Trade Hub The North and Baltic Seas serve as an extensive network of trade routes, connecting Northern Europe with the rest of the world. Ports like Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Gdansk are among the busiest in Europe, handling millions of tons of cargo annually. This maritime network plays a pivotal role in the global supply chain, supporting industries ranging from manufacturing to agriculture. 🌊 Environmental Responsibility With growing concerns about sustainability, maritime transport in these seas is also embracing eco-friendliness. The adoption of cleaner technologies, efficient logistics, and emission reduction initiatives are transforming the industry. The Baltic and North Seas are becoming models for environmentally responsible shipping, helping to mitigate the impact of global trade on our planet. 🤝 Regional Cooperation These seas foster international collaboration among countries in the region. Organizations like the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) and the North Sea Commission work tirelessly to promote sustainable practices, safeguard marine ecosystems, and enhance navigational safety. Through these partnerships, nations are creating a brighter future for their shared waters. ⚓ A Gateway to Innovation The maritime transport sector in the North and Baltic Seas continuously evolves. From digitalization and automation to the development of green ports and energy-efficient vessels, innovation is driving progress. This transformation not only enhances efficiency but also creates opportunities for professionals and businesses alike. 🌊 A Bright Horizon As global trade continues to expand, the importance of maritime transport in the North and Baltic Seas will only grow. Embracing sustainable practices, fostering international collaboration, and advancing innovation are the keys to unlocking the full potential of these vital waterways. Let's sail towards a future where the seas remain prosperous, sustainable, and interconnected. #MaritimeTransport #TradeRoutes #BalticSea #NorthSea #ShippingIndustry #PortCities #EnvironmentalProtection #MaritimeSafety #TradeEconomy #EuropeanTrade

#Mobility. On March 7, 2024, our EMBRACER partner CIM-Coimbra Region was an invited speaker in the Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform (PLP) workshop on "Green and Inclusive Regional Mobility Solutions: key learnings", exploring good practices from Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal. Rural areas frequently suffer from a lack of public services and face distinct challenges compared to urban areas, including less access to opportunities, and greater challenges for #connectivity and #infrastructure. Demand-responsive transport (DRT) presents a promising solution to enhance #transport accessibility in rural regions where traditional public transport may be insufficient and not economically viable. The success of the DRT scheme in Coimbra, Portugal - SITFLEX - shows its feasibility and popularity, shedding light on its potential to complement and expand mobility services in underserved areas. 👉https://lnkd.in/dVv2He4a
