‘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.

About the RS21 International One Design Class

The RS21 International One Design Class is a modern keelboat, which promoters say is 'responsibly designed with performance racing at its heart'.

The powerful rig and distinct chines are balanced by well-mannered boat handling and an ergonomic deck layout to ensure everyone on board has a vital role and ease of use.

The RS21 was developed with sustainability at the core of its design, not only in terms of materials but also considering the carbon footprint in the supply chain, a reduction in single-use plastics and a focus on efficient logistics.

The RS21 International One Design Class is growing from strength to strength, with fleets active over three continents and racing calendars that escalate each year, nationally and internationally. "Removing the arms race and ensuring epically close racing in the RS21 is the future of keelboat racing," said class aficionados.
