[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The first steps were taken towards a Green Port Master Plan [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The PIONEERS ports of Barcelona, Constanta, Venlo and Antwerp-Bruges are taking the first steps towards a Green Port Master Plan.   However, before envisioning a desired future, PIONEERS focuses on understanding the complex port system as it is. European Integrated Projects, PIONEERS partner, familiarized the ports during a two-day workshop in Bucharest with various techniques that will support engaging with complex port systems and their actors.
