Norrköpings Hamn: Customer View Is Also Important
Sustainable Flow had a stakeholder event in Norrköping on Friday, 16 February 2024. The event provided a fruitfull platform to discuss actions, implementations and solutions for reducing CO2emissions in ports. The text below is an online article written by Norrköpings Hamn which is one of the pilot ports of the Sustainable Flow project.
Sustainable Flow for reduced CO2 emissions
Net zero is on everyone’s lips, but how do we get there? Colla borating and participating in projects that work towards the common goal is our approach to tackling the task. Sustainable Flow is an EU project developing a digital tool, specifically for monitoring in ports, that supports CO2 reduction and energy-saving measures. The tool will be open source and therefore available to other organizations after the project.
Through strong cross-border cooperation, the ports serving as hubs for the maritime sector in the Central Baltic region will have the ability and capacity to become smarter, greener, more cost-effective, interoperable, sustainable, accessible, safer, and more secure by the project’s completion in 2026.
There are seven pilot ports in the central Baltic Sea region involved: Port of Norrköping and Oxelösund are participating through Swedish Confederation of Transport Enterprises and Ports of Sweden, together with the Swedish Maritime Administration, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences – SAMK, Åland University of Applied Sciences, International Transport Development Association, Tallinn Technical University, and Fintraffic ANS.
“Undoubtedly, there are a thousand possibilities, but for us, it is important to also highlight the customer benefits in a project like this,” says Magnus Grimhed, Marketing and Sales Manager at Norrköping Port, regarding his participation in one of the project’s workshops held in Norrköping.
