The INTESA project establishes a network among the National Maritime Administrations of Italy and Croatia and the main Port Authorities of the Adriatic Sea (Venice, Trieste, Ravenna, Ancona, Bari, Rijeka, Ploče and Split) with the scope of harmonising and optimising the procedures of the complete maritime transport process in order to make port and maritime transport system more efficient and safer.
Specifically, the objectives of the INTESA project are to:
- Strenghten maritime safety and security through the creation of a cross border framework of monitoring and data-sharing authoritative and harmonised system.
- Develop reliable and resilient transport network and intermodal connections with the hinterland integrating the port node with rail and road transport modes, reducing procedural constraints and bureaucratic burden (especially in port operations).
- Develop a competitive adriatic port system through the harmonisation of the systems for the exchange of information between ship and onshore competent Authorities.
INTESA is a great opportunity for Italian and Croatian Authorities to jointly define common guidelines in order to share operational services, monitoring & communication assets and their own expertise to implement and test Transnational IT System for maritime safety in the Adriatic.
