The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) and the European Federation of Inland Ports (EFIP) have launched the Green Innovation Compass, a knowledge platform designed to help ports across Europe adopt innovative technologies and solutions.<\/p>\n
Available through both organisations\u2019 websites, the platform provides practical insights into port innovations, drawing on research, demonstration projects and real-world experience from across Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn ESPO we are not only representing the interests of Europe\u2019s ports towards the European policy makers, but we also want to serve as a knowledge network, where port professionals learn from each other,\u201d said Isabelle Ryckbost, ESPO secretary general.<\/p>\n
Developed as a key legacy of the European Horizon 2020-funded MAGPIE project, the Compass brings together knowledge previously scattered across different sources. MAGPIE brought ports, businesses, research institutions and governments together to develop solutions for more sustainable and efficient port operations.<\/p>\n
The platform covers electrification, alternative fuels, automation, resilience and digitalisation. For each technology, users can explore potential applications, implementation requirements, expected impacts and enabling factors. Filters allow ports to identify relevant information according to their priorities, challenges, objectives and timelines.<\/p>\n
EFIP director Turi Fiorito said the platform would help inland ports learn from projects already implemented elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Green Innovation Compass allows for inland ports to see what projects others have already realised,\u201d he said, adding that accessible case studies could inspire ports to develop their own solutions.<\/p>\n
ESPO and EFIP said making the platform available through their websites would improve access to expertise, encourage the exchange of best practices and support wider adoption of innovative technologies.<\/p>\n
The Compass is designed to evolve as the sector develops, with users encouraged to contribute new knowledge, experiences and practical examples.<\/p>\n
To secure its long-term continuity after MAGPIE concludes, ALICE (Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe) will act as the platform\u2019s legacy partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
