The goal of METRO (Maritime Environment-friendly TRanspOrt systems) project is the improvement of the environmental sustainability of tourist maritime transport in the North Adriatic, addressing some specific challenges of the area: more integrated, efficient and sustainable maritime connections between Italy and Croatia; reduction of traffic congestion caused by seasonal tourist flows; improvement in local stakeholders competitiveness.
The strong multidisciplinary approach applied in the project integrates the best technologies in the field of electrical shipboard power systems, a modern approach to the ship design, and the land infrastructure study. The Final Event will present the project and its main results, and will include interactive polls, constituting a place for exchanging information with the public in regards to sustainable maritime transport systems.
The Event will take place Online via Zoom, on the 14th of December from 15.00 to 18.00
