SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
The main objective of SUSPORT is to enhance the environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of the ports in the Programme Area through increased institutional cooperation to create the basis for coordinated and permanent governance in the context of port environmental sustainability and energy efficiency at cross-border level, jointly developing action plans and a long-term strategy, increasing coordination and cooperation between ports to strengthen sustainability and competitiveness.
Through SUSPORT, ports of the Programme Area, will be able to share best practices and develop common methodologies for environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, to be tested in concrete pilot actions significantly improving the environmental performance of maritime transport in the whole Programme Area.

Maritime transport is the most sustainable way of transporting goods from the environmental and energy point of view. However, port operations also have an impact on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
Currently, the ports of the cross-border area do not have a common model of environmental planning and energy efficiency: the Italian Port System Authorities have ministerial guidelines published in December 2018, which however do not apply to Porto Nogaro. At the same time, the Croatian ports have their own impact mitigation strategies.
SUSPORT intends to enhance the environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of the ports in Italy and Croatia through increased institutional cooperation to create the basis for coordinated and permanent governance at cross-border level, jointly developing action plans and a long-term strategy.
Through SUSPORT, ports of the Programme Area will be able to share best practices and develop common methodologies for environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, to be tested in concrete pilot actions significantly improving the environmental performance of maritime transport in the whole Programme Area.

RIJEKA PORT AUTHORITY
This pilot project would cover the lighting of all port areas that serve as public areas. The design must comply with the existing norms (EU norms such as EN 13201, UNI 10819) and anticipate effective public lighting management, cost and public lighting consumption control as well as regular maintenance. In addition to the renewal and significant reduction of electricity consumption for public lighting, we would also build a charging station for electric vehicles on the Rijeka breakwater
