GREEN MARINE MED

Linking Ports, Industries, Investment and Innovation for Monitoring and Technology Foresight on Green Shipping in the Mediterranean.

The GREEN MARINE MED project unites the Mediterranean Green Shipping Network, representing the full value chain, including vessel communities, ports, marinas, fuel and energy sectors, finance, investment, innovation, and other stakeholders.

This Network forms the foundation for a comprehensive Monitoring and Technology Foresight on Mediterranean Green Shipping. Through the project’s unique accelerators and business support programs, GREEN MARINE MED empowers Green Shipping entrepreneurs and start-ups in the region.

By launching an International Call for Green Shipping Innovation, the project provides specific support for start-ups, SMEs, and entrepreneurs to drive innovation in the ports and maritime transport industries, accelerating Green Shipping in the Mediterranean.

With a focus on innovation, capacity building, and sustainable finance, GREEN MARINE MED is poised for post-project scalability throughout the Mediterranean and beyond, promoting the exchange of best practices. The Mediterranean Green Shipping Network’s sustainability is ensured through the WOC’s commitment to host the Centre of Excellence on Mediterranean Green Shipping.

GREEN MARINE MED, led by Centro Tecnológico Naval y del Mar (CTN) and the World Ocean Council Europe (WOC), comprises 18 partners from seven countries, both in Europe (Spain, France, Italy, and The Netherlands) and Southern Mediterranean countries (Turkey, Israel, and Tunisia). The consortium includes various Green Shipping actors: clusters and maritime technology centres, accelerators, educational partners, and direct links with ports.

Eurecat’s Technology Consultancy department undertakes various assessments related to the Status Quo of Mediterranean Green Shipping such as: Green Shipping challenges and potential across the North and South Mediterranean; a social, economic, environmental, and technological assessment based in part on the results of previously funded EU projects; a market analysis and supply chain mapping, as well as SWOT analysis of a Green Energy transition in the Mediterranean.
