AGENDA

APDL has approved the application for a Study for Sustainability, Candidate to the Connecting Europe Facility - Transport.

APDL's application "Studies for the Sustainable Development of the Port Cluster of Leixões" was approved last July 15th, being the only Portuguese application approved by CALL 2020, from the Connecting Europe Facility - Transport.

APDL has approved the application for a Study for Sustainability, Candidate to the Connecting Europe Facility - Transport.

The Action, with an investment amount of 990 thousand euros and a co-financing rate of 50% (corresponding to a co-financing of 495 thousand euros), consists of preparatory studies for interventions in the areas of resilience of the maritime protection infrastructures and energy transition in the Port of Leixões and Arrábida Quay in the Douro Waterway.

In order to meet the objectives of the European Green Deal of climate neutrality in the port cluster managed by APDL and strengthening the efforts of climate protection and building resilience, the Action aims to meet the following needs:

- Decarbonising the energy systems of the port cluster managed by APDL;

- Climate proofing, building resilience, prevention and preparedness of maritime and port infrastructures.

The Action will also enable the following objectives to be achieved:

- Improving the resilience of maritime protection infrastructures, allowing the protection infrastructures to resist the impacts of extreme weather conditions, keeping the port operational in all weather conditions and contributing to the protection of the coastline and the entrance of the Douro bar.

- Reducing air and noise pollution and GHG emissions in the port cluster, promoting the energy transition through onshore power supply and improving methods, equipment and regulations within port areas, in cooperation with the port community.

It should be noted that APDL began the Roadmap Project for energy transition and decarbonisation of the activity, which will lead to achieving carbon neutrality and energy self-sufficiency in 2035, which will mean doing it 15 years earlier than stipulated in the so-called European Green Deal.

APDL Launches Energy Transition Roadmap Project

As previously announced, the Port of Leixões has started the Roadmap Project for the energy transition and decarbonization of the activity, which will lead it to achieve carbon neutrality and energy self-sufficiency in 2035, which will mean doing it 15 years earlier than the stipulated in the so-called European Green Deal.

Throughout this year, the APDL will present its Energy Transition Roadmap that will guide concrete actions aimed at making the Port of Leixões one of the first non-polluting ports, placing it at the level of the main ports in the world and redoubling its commitment to the growth of a sustainable activity.

CoLogistics project: invitation to participate in the Logistics Performance Index survey

The CoLogistics project is an interregional Galicia-North Portugal project. It aims to promote logistics activity and strengthen its organisational and technological capacities, thus promoting the internationalisation of the productive fabric of the Euroregion and increasing its presence abroad.

It is an opportunity to improve both logistics management and the value chain of industrial companies in Galicia and Northern Portugal.

An analysis is currently being carried out based on the World Bank's "LPI - Logistics Performance Index" methodology. This will allow the Euroregion to present itself internationally in direct comparison with other regions or countries, based on the criteria of the World Bank in collaboration with the OECD.

All logistics companies or logistics users (industrialists) who wish to collaborate in this study can send their answers to the questionnaire by clicking here (estimated response time 4 minutes).

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
