GREENPORT

GREENPORT is a unique and progressive project within the maritime sector that stands out from other initiatives. Whereas many projects focus on developing and implementing new technologies, GREENPORT focuses instead on making the best use of existing resources and knowledge. This innovative premise makes the project groundbreaking in its approach to promoting sustainability and efficiency in port operations.

• Smart use of existing resources: Rather than just investing in new technologies, GREENPORT is committed to making better use of current infrastructure, skills and knowledge within the sector. This results in practical solutions that are immediately applicable.
• Behavior change at its core: The project focuses on changing habits and processes within the industry to achieve maximum efficiency and minimum emissions. By training employees and raising awareness, sustainable results are achieved without large investments in new technology.
• Innovative education programs: GREENPORT develops progressive curricula for higher and vocational education, based on existing resources and proven techniques, to strengthen skills and competencies within the sector.
• Knowledge sharing and collaboration: By bringing together academic institutions, industry experts and policy makers, GREENPORT ensures a broad exchange of knowledge and experiences. This strengthens innovation without depending on new technologies.

GREENPORT collaborates with renowned organizations, including Piri Reis University (project coordinator), Antwerp Maritime Academy (curriculum development), the European Tugowners Association (sector insights) and Mar.Te. (scientific analyses). Each of these partners contributes an innovative but hands-on approach.

GREENPORT proves that innovation does not always have to depend on new technologies. By making smart and sustainable use of what is already available, the project creates direct impact on the sector. This makes GREENPORT not only unique, but also a blueprint for other initiatives within the maritime world.
