Arranque do Projeto e Conferência das Partes Interessadas
Como coordenadora do projeto GREENPORT Alliances, a Universidade Piri Reis recebeu os nove parceiros do projeto de sete países nos dias 28 e 29 de fevereiro de 2024. A reunião de arranque, que teve lugar no primeiro dia, abrangeu toda a reunião do consórcio, bem como discutiu o plano de trabalho e o caminho a seguir para a duração do projeto.
A Conferência das Partes Interessadas assinalou o primeiro marco do projeto e testemunhou o envolvimento das principais partes interessadas, tanto da indústria marítima como das instituições de ensino. Durante a conferência, cada parceiro do projeto apresentou as suas funções e responsabilidades, bem como os compromissos que seriam assumidos ao longo dos 36 meses do projeto. Representantes do sector marítimo turco, como a Sanmar Shipyards, a Associação Turca de Construtores Navais (GISBIR), a Yanmar Holding, a Sakura Marine, Kilyos Shipping, Kamer Marine, GDS Engineering, CSS Turkey, NAVTEK, Gübretaş Port, GISAŞ Port e a Associação Turca de Pilotos participaram ativamente na conferência. Foram partilhados conhecimentos sobre estratégias inovadoras para reduzir as emissões de carbono no sector através de apresentações feitas por representantes da Turkon Line e da GISAŞ.
Project Update: Diving Deeper into Sustainable Shipping
Activities outlined in “Task 3.2 – Scientific Analysis” commenced in November 2024 (M10). These activities will span a total period of six months, concluding in April 2025. This task plays a pivotal role within the project as it focuses on developing alternative analyses and identifying case studies to demonstrate how the application of different operational methodologies can significantly impact harmful gas emissions. The planned activities are divided into three main phases, each characterized by specific objectives and a targeted operational approach.
The first phase, referred to as desk analysis, will take place between November 2024 and January 2025. This phase will involve the preliminary collection of relevant data and the structuring of case studies. Based on the review of available documents and sources, it represents the starting point for developing alternative operational scenarios. Subsequently, during the second phase, from February to mid-March 2025, the development of case studies will proceed. This activity will incorporate innovative analytical approaches, including targeted interviews with industry experts, to delve deeper into the identified methodologies. Finally, the third phase, from mid-March to April 2025,
will focus on integrating lessons learned. The goal will be to translate the outcomes from the previous phases into practical and concrete recommendations for designing specific training curricula.
The activities of Task 3.2 build upon the results of “Task 3.1 Cross-sectoral identification of best practices”, which identified 13 practices classified into three main clusters. Cluster 1, focused on emission reduction, addresses strategic aspects related to environmental sustainability. Cluster 2 emphasizes operational efficiency improvements, prioritizing technical and managerial aspects. Cluster 3 centers on engagement and professional development, highlighting educational and training dimensions.
These practices were selected through an in-depth analysis of scientific articles, institutional documents, and questionnaires, involving partners and industry operators such as pilots and tugboats. Specifically, the questionnaire survey generated 35 useful responses, which led to the addition of 4 new practices to the initial list, while retaining the original cluster classification.
An additional phase of work resulted in the ranking of 12 Best Practices, evaluated using 10 distinct parameters divided across five perspectives: environmental, economic, social, technical, and institutional. This multidimensional evaluation provided a solid foundation for designing training curricula, which will be further enriched by the outcomes of Task 3.2.
Task 3.2 represents a crucial milestone in the overall project trajectory, as it lays the groundwork for the subsequent Task 3.3, which will culminate in the preparation of an internal document containing targeted recommendations for training development. The integrated approach adopted in Work Package 3 stands out for its ability to ensure a systemic and multidimensional vision, actively involving experts and stakeholders. This method optimizes project outcomes and promotes an operational model oriented toward the sustainability of port operations.
