Abstract
In response to the intensifying climate and energy challenges, ports are progressively redefining their strategic role within the European economic system. No longer confined to transport and logistics functions, they are increasingly positioned as multifunctional energy nodes that contribute to decarbonisation in line with the European Green Deal, through the deployment of renewable energy, alternative fuels, and low-carbon technologies. The present study examines how water transport can simultaneously enhance its operational efficiency and serve as a catalyst for sustainable economic development.File in questo prodotto:
