‘Towards a Harmonised Onshore Power Supply in the European Union’ is the title of the EALING Mid-Term Event webinar for the European ports industry next Friday 29 April.

Emissions reduction at the ship-port interface is one of the key drivers to reach the IMO 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation goals and to face the key challenges of the EU Green Deal.

Regulatory, technical, operational and economic actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are required to move towards a lower-carbon future.

Establishing a suitable framework based on EU and national legislations for a harmonised European approach to the onshore power supply (cold ironing) is at the heart of EALING (the European flagship Action for coLd ironING in ports).

The results from EALING Project activities will be deepened and discussed together with industry players involved in building a more competitive and sustainable Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) during the event.

The webinar takes place Friday 29 April from 10am to 1pm CEST (9am to 12pm IST). The full agenda is available from the EALING Project website, and registration for the Zoom webinar is now open.
