Themed "Linking Ports and Citizens: A shared vision for the Future", the event was organised by AIVP in collaboration with the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority of Venice.   The conference offered a rich program featuring engaging sessions that explore various topics, including citizen engagement in the implementation of solutions for the energy transition, climate change and resilient port cities. The balance between tourism and the blue economy with local priorities, and how port-city interface projects can connect citizens with their port, will be other relevant topics of discussion. PIONEERS and its sister project MAGPIE had a joint stand at the event. It was an incredible opportunity to share with participants how EU-funded initiatives are actively shaping the future of ports. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDc3R5bGUlM0UlMEEucW9kZWYtcG9ydGZvbGlvLXRpdGxlJTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwRElTUExBWSUzQSUyME5PTkUlMjAlMjFpbXBvcnRhbnQlM0IlMEElN0QlMEEuc21hbGwtc2xpZGVyLnFvZGVmLXBvcnRmb2xpby1zaW5nbGUtaG9sZGVyJTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwTUFSR0lOLVRPUCUzQSUyMDEwMFBYJTIwJTIxaW1wb3J0YW50JTNCJTBBJTdEJTBBJTNDJTJGc3R5bGUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

This not only leads to unnecessary emissions, increased costs, and potential safety concerns but also decreases overall port efficiency.   To address these issues, PIONEERS consortium partners MACOMI and Port of Antwerp-Bruges are working on cutting-edge technologies to enhance port operations significantly by reducing ship waiting times and enhancing traffic control in busy port areas. It involves the development of two key technologies: Optimal Lock Planning and a Decision Support System (DSS).   For more details about this demo, such as the innovative technologies and expected outcomes, you can download the factsheet.
