The METRO project was presented at an event organised on June 15th 2021 by the Port of Leghorn in the framework of the ANCHOR (www.anchorlife.eu) and RUMBLE (www.interreg-maritime.eu/web/rumble) EU projects, co-funded by the LIFE and Interreg Italy-France Maritime Programmes.
Both projects aim at enhancing the awareness of port stakeholders – public administrations, land management decision makers, port authorities and private companies – on the topic of noise pollution in port cities, defining strategies and best practices for port noise management, focusing on the measurement and mitigation of noise pollution.
The Port of Trieste was invited to present its initiatives for improving the port’s environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, among which METRO, underlining the importance of onshore power supply to reduce the impact of port operations on noise.
The webinar was attended by more than 30 experts in this field, including the Port Authority of Leghorn, local municipalities and their associations, the Tuscany environmental agency and the port’s Harbour Master’s Office.
