The 2nd online workshop of the European Shortsea Network under the Italian Presidency focused on how to manage the issues of digitization and the new environmental Regulations by the shipping industry, so that Shortsea Shipping (SSS) promotes green development and remains sustainable at the same time.
Ms. Sappho Simantoni, Director of SPC Greece, presented the revised position paper of ESN and referred to the practices followed by European countries with the aim of decarbonizing shortsea shipping.
Through the presentations of the speakers, the role of European funding programs in the direction of implementing the goals of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in shortsea shipping, due to a lack of financial tools, was highlighted.
In addition, special reference was made to the need to adopt a new national legislative framework in the countries of the European Union, which will promote and support the necessary reforms for the modernization of the fleet and ports.
