Kotka joins EcoPorts network
Kotka ecoport is a project launched by the Port of Kotka as part of the City of Kotka and its EkoKotka project. Kotka ecoport considers the environment in all operations of the port based on a life cycle approach, meaning that all stages from design and construction, to commissioning and decommissioning, are taken into account in the operations.
The goal is to arrange the port’s operations so that other stakeholders can also work in a sustainable manner. Ecoport provides an opportunity to utilise the experiences and knowhow possessed by the port on its own development projects in preparation, planning, implementation, constant improvement, stakeholder relations and in case-specific, innovative solutions.
Kotka ecoport aims at the efficient use of energy and materials. In addition to the efficient use of resources and recycling, all planning will take into account swift modifiability as the circumstances change. The port aims to reduce its own energy consumption and use recycled materials in the port structures.
