During the meeting, project partners reviewed overall progress and discussed the next steps for implementation. NVNA also hosted a demonstration of its advanced simulators at the academy, providing valuable insight into the practical training environment.<\/p><p>A key focus of the discussions was the piloting of the project\u2019s training materials across partner organisations, followed by a comprehensive evaluation exercise. Project partners presented the piloting approaches currently in use and collectively agreed on the implementation timelines and methodologies for all three training streams: Vocational Education and Training (VET), Higher Education Institutions (HEI), and Train-the-Trainer (TTT) courses. The training materials have been designed to deliver measurable outcomes, particularly in supporting the reduction of CO\u2082 emissions. During the visit, these materials were also demonstrated to non-piloting partners, highlighting the importance of cross-sector collaboration in advancing more sustainable port services.<\/p><p>The meeting further led to the introduction of new project components. In addition to assessing behavioural change, the project will now also evaluate end-user values during the piloting phase, enabling the identification of key value indicators. While port sustainability remains a core objective of Greenport Alliances, the safety of pilot captains and crew continues to be the project\u2019s highest priority.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abc4931 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"abc4931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-787ccb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"787ccb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The GREENPORT HEI Course Piloting Successfully<br> Launched at Piri Reis University<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99bcb69 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"99bcb69\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dde9547 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dde9547\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The piloting of the GREENPORT Higher Education Institution (HEI) course \u201cSustainable Maritime Operations and Green Port\u201d was successfully initiated at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pirireis.edu.tr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\u0423\u043d\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0441\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0442 \u041f\u0438\u0440\u0438 \u0420\u0435\u0439\u0441<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0during the Fall semester of the 2025\u20132026 academic year.

The course combined theoretical understanding with hands-on practice, focusing on how operational decisions during port approach and berthing influence energy consumption, emissions, and navigational safety. It was delivered as a blended format: Day 1 \u2013 online theoretical session introducing eco-navigation principles, regulatory context, and best practices for sustainable port operations; Day 2 \u2013 practical training on the Dynamic Positioning (DP) simulator, where participants applied these principles in realistic port manoeuvring scenarios.<\/p><p>During the simulator exercises, participants compared inefficient and best-practice manoeuvring approaches for an offshore vessel equipped with a DP system. By observing power demand, thruster use, and manoeuvring behaviour in real time, they gained a clear understanding of how anticipatory planning, stable engine operation, and effective use of wind and tide can significantly reduce energy use and emissions without compromising safety.<\/p><p>The simulation was designed and delivered by two captains: Capt. Cristian Micu (Senior DPO) and Capt. Dr. Gheorghe Surugiu (Senior Lecturer). Feedback from participants highlighted the strong relevance of simulator-based training for developing practical skills and increasing awareness of sustainability challenges in port operations.<\/p><p>This pilot activity confirms the value of VET-oriented, practice-based training in supporting the green transition of maritime transport. By focusing on operational behaviour rather than technology alone, such courses offer an immediately applicable pathway to more sustainable port operations and contribute directly to the objectives of the Greenport Project and wider EU decarbonisation goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61013c3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"61013c3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-770bf92 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"770bf92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d36641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4d36641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The piloting for the Train-the-trainer (TTT) course will begin soon!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36b0963 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36b0963\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The \u00a0TTT is the last learning stream which will be launched for piloting in February, incorporating behavioural modification to reduce emissions.
