Blue Supply Chains
Blue Supply Chains
Ports are essential for global trade and prosperity, but at the same time contribute to the emission of pollutants through freight traffic and port activities. Ports can be an important factor in achieving European and national climate goals and will also play an important role in the storage and onward transport of alternative fuels in the future. The "Blue Supply Chains" project supports port authorities and port operators in implementing long-term measures to decarbonize port locations.

Objective of the Blue Supply Chains project is to provide a three-pillar approach on how port authorities can support greening process in port operation (electrification of handling equipment), by providing alternative fuels (bunkering & charging strategy) and by pushing to set-up green transport chains (combined transport).

This project supports transition to greener and more environmentally friendly Baltic Sea Region.
