Porti & ambiente — le notizie raccolte

Due giorni dedicati alle infrastrutture del porto di Ravenna, alle sue attività e alle possibilità di valorizzazione dei traffici commerciali. Il 3 e 4 settembre lo scalo ha ospitato una delegazione di autorità marittime e governative della Libia, nella seconda e conclusiva tappa di una visita di studio promossa dalla Commissione Europea attraverso il programma TAIEX. La missione ha consentito alla delegazione di approfondire gli aspetti dello scalo legati alla transizione ecologica, all’intermodalità ferroviaria e alla digitalizzazione dei processi, indicati come elementi chiave per il potenziamento dei flussi commerciali di transito della Libia verso i corridoi africani. Guidata a Ravenna dal coordinatore Fabio Croccolo, la delegazione comprendeva funzionari del Ministero degli Affari Esteri libico, della Libyan Ports and Maritime Transport Authority, della Libyan Steel Company e della Libyan Authority for Scientific Research. A riceverla sono stati il presidente dell’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mare Adriatico Centro-Settentrionale Francesco Benevolo e il comandante della Capitaneria di porto di Ravenna e direttore marittimo dell’Emilia-Romagna Maurizio Tattoli. L’Autorità portuale ha presentato i principali progetti infrastrutturali in corso di realizzazione per incrementare la capacità e l’accessibilità marittima del porto, hub strategico delle reti Trans-Europee dei Trasporti TEN-T. La delegazione ha quindi percorso il canale portuale per conoscere l’operatività dei terminal merci e passeggeri, visitando Petra, Docks Cereali e Terminal Container Ravenna. Particolare attenzione è stata dedicata al modello ravennate di Energy Hub, con il rigassificatore, il deposito di GNL, il progetto di cattura della CO2 e il sistema di cold ironing per l’elettrificazione della banchina del terminal crociere. Il confronto ha riguardato anche i traffici commerciali. Con il coinvolgimento di Promos Italia, Agenzia nazionale del sistema camerale per l’internazionalizzazione delle Pmi italiane, sono stati approfonditi il tema della loro possibile valorizzazione e quello di eventuali futuri investimenti e progetti di cooperazione, in grado di alimentare valore aggiunto e nuove prospettive di crescita sui mercati internazionali per lo scalo ravennate. Tra le tappe della missione il Terminal Container Ravenna del gruppo Sapir, dove la delegazione ha incontrato i vertici della società. Nel corso della riunione è stato affrontato anche lo sviluppo del terminal. Giannantonio Mingozzi (presidente di Tcr) ha illustrato alcuni aspetti innovativi previsti nel nuovo terminal container in Trattaroli, già attivo per l'automotive, e alcuni aspetti concernenti i collegamenti e le infrastrutture. Il responsabile commerciale Alessandro Battolini ha condiviso con la delegazione le opportunità del terminal container e del porto di Ravenna come sistema possono mettere a disposizione di operatori che intendano intensificare i rapporti commerciali». Mingozzi ha quindi richiamato i rapporti economici tra Emilia-Romagna e Libia e gli investimenti in corso nel Paese. «Le imprese della regione Emilia - Romagna vedono con interesse i progetti di sviluppo avviati in terra libica, tra questi il recente accordo tra Misurata free zone, MSC e una società catariota che prevede un rilevante investimento sul terminal di Misurata. Va ricordato che l'Emilia- Romagna è la seconda regione italiana per scambi commerciali con la Libia, si distinguono importati traffici relativi alle attrezzature industriali, all'agroalimentare e ai prodotti chimici. Il porto di Ravenna può essere il punto di riferimento per l'intera regione, fungendo da catalizzatore e punto di partenza per l'esportazione». Il presidente ha infine commentato che «tutti hanno avuto parole di compiacimento per l'organizzazione del Terminal e per i risultati ottenuti in questi anni, auspicando nuovi incontri e rapporti costruttivi nei principali settori della domanda e dell'offerta e di tutto il mondo containeristico». © copyright Porto Ravenna News

Economia 05/09/2026 Il futuro dello shipping: GNL, idrogeno e la sfida delle zero emissioni di Redazione Il settore del trasporto marittimo evidenzia oggi una profonda asimmetria strutturale. Da un lato, il comparto è responsabile del 14% delle emissioni relative ai trasporti nell'Europa a 27 e del 7% in Italia. Dall'altro lato, oltre il 95% della flotta commerciale, sia europea che italiana, fa ancora affidamento in via quasi esclusiva sui combustibili convenzionali. Da questa evidente criticità prende le mosse l'analisi delineata nel Rapporto Strategico “Decarbonizzare il mare, rafforzare l'Italia: trasporto marittimo, vettori energetici e porti, nuova competitività nel Mediterraneo”. Si tratta di uno studio approfondito realizzato da TEHA Group in collaborazione con Edison e con NextChem, la business unit di MAIRE focalizzata sullo sviluppo di soluzioni tecnologiche per la transizione energetica, presentato in occasione del 52° Forum TEHA di Cernobbio. L'evoluzione dell'intero comparto risulta trainata da quattro driver strettamente interconnessi: l'adeguamento al quadro normativo, la gestione dei costi operativi, la necessità di readiness infrastrutturale e la forte volatilità che caratterizza i prezzi dei carburanti tradizionali. Sul fronte regolatorio, le direttive dell'Organizzazione Marittima Internazionale (IMO), che impongono il raggiungimento delle zero emissioni nette entro il 2050, si sommano alle stringenti normative europee. L'iniziativa FuelEU Maritime e l'inclusione dello shipping nel sistema EU ETS stanno infatti imprimendo una decisa accelerazione al processo di decarbonizzazione. In tale contesto in profondo mutamento, i porti sono chiamati a una vera e propria metamorfosi funzionale. Gli scali marittimi stanno evolvendo dalla tradizionale configurazione di piattaforme logistiche a veri e propri snodi energetico-industriali del Mediterraneo. A queste infrastrutture è richiesto non solo di abbattere l'impatto ambientale delle proprie operazioni, ma anche di garantire alle flotte la fornitura di nuovi vettori energetici, reti di bunkeraggio avanzate e servizi operativi adeguati. Non a caso, la rilevanza della decarbonizzazione come leva per gli investimenti portuali in Europa ha registrato un balzo di 41 punti percentuali tra il 2018 e il 2023. Sotto il profilo prettamente industriale, la transizione è un processo già misurabile nei portafogli ordini dei cantieri navali globali, dove i combustibili alternativi coprono oggi il 51% del tonnellaggio commissionato. Sulla base di queste dinamiche e delle scelte di investimento degli armatori, TEHA ha elaborato uno specifico scenario definito “Industry driven”. Tale modello stima che, entro il 2050, i fuel alternativi arriveranno a pesare per il 65,5% del mix energetico marittimo, sostenuti in gran parte dai biofuel con una quota del 50,7%. I combustibili fossili, di contro, si attesteranno al 34,5%, con il Gas Naturale Liquefatto (GNL) destinato a mantenere una funzione di transizione molto rilevante. Il processo di rinnovamento assumerà necessariamente connotati graduali e richiederà un approccio multi-fuel. Nel breve e medio termine si assisterà al consolidamento di soluzioni tecnologicamente mature come il GNL e il bio-GNL, affiancate da un crescente interesse del mercato per il bio-metanolo. In un orizzonte di lungo periodo, le tecnologie di transizione lasceranno invece spazio a una progressiva penetrazione di idrogeno, ammoniaca verde ed e-fuel. Questa precisa traiettoria tecnica renderebbe possibile un taglio delle emissioni marittime del 54% al 2050, un risultato di grande impatto se confrontato con la previsione di un aumento complessivo dei consumi energetici del settore. Per supportare un simile cambio di paradigma, lo scenario stima un fabbisogno cumulato di 36 miliardi di euro di investimenti necessari fino al 2050. Questi capitali andranno allocati nello sviluppo delle capacità di stoccaggio, nei sistemi di rifornimento ship-to-ship, nell'elettrificazione delle banchine portuali e nella creazione di un'autonoma capacità produttiva nazionale per i combustibili alternativi. L'analisi macroeconomica evidenzia un significativo effetto moltiplicatore per il sistema-Paese, poiché l'impiego di questi 36 miliardi di euro è in grado di attivare un valore della produzione pari a 105 miliardi e di generare 45 miliardi di euro di Valore Aggiunto, una cifra pari a 1,24 volte il capitale inizialmente investito. Un dato di assoluto rilievo per la geografia economica italiana è che oltre la metà di questo Valore Aggiunto, precisamente il 51,4%, avrebbe ricadute dirette sul Mezzogiorno. Ciò permetterebbe di potenziare nettamente il posizionamento strategico degli scali meridionali sulle principali rotte commerciali del Mediterraneo. A tali benefici di natura industriale e territoriale si sommano i fondamentali dividendi ambientali, calcolati valutando il costo sociale delle emissioni. In uno scenario di inazione, questo costo cumulato per il periodo 2026-2050 raggiungerebbe la quota di 51,7 miliardi di euro. L'applicazione dello scenario virtuoso delineato dallo studio lo manterrebbe invece a 40 miliardi, evitando così alla collettività oneri aggiuntivi per circa 11,7 miliardi di euro. Il Rapporto cerca inoltre di quantificare il rischio economico legato al mancato adeguamento. Avverte infatti che, in assenza degli investimenti necessari, l'Italia si esporrebbe a una perdita potenziale di circa 80 miliardi di euro di Valore Aggiunto al 2050. Questa contrazione sistemica sarebbe causata dall'effetto congiunto del rischio competitivo, dell'erosione dei margini operativi, della perdita di traffici commerciali e della mancata attivazione dell'indotto economico lungo l'intera catena del valore. Per scongiurare questo scenario recessivo e consolidare l'attrattività del sistema portuale, lo studio individua una precisa roadmap articolata su cinque principi guida. Le azioni prioritarie impongono di stimolare la crescita della domanda, implementare una governance strutturata e abbattere il costo totale del bunkeraggio. Occorre inoltre vincolare il reinvestimento dei proventi derivanti dal sistema ETS a supporto esclusivo del comparto e strutturare una solida filiera nazionale dei combustibili alternativi. La dimensione strategica di questo ambizioso percorso è stata confermata dalle riflessioni dei vertici delle società promotrici del Rapporto. Fabrizio Mattana, Executive Vice President Gas Assets di Edison, ha rimarcato come le evidenze emerse confermino la rilevanza vitale della decarbonizzazione e il ruolo dei porti come formidabile leva di sviluppo per l'Italia. Ha inoltre ribadito la capacità del gruppo di supportare la transizione attraverso un posizionamento integrato che spazia dal GNL fino allo sviluppo di soluzioni all'avanguardia come idrogeno e biometanolo. Giovanni Sale, Senior Vice President Energy Transition Strategy di NextChem, ha inquadrato la trasformazione del settore come una delle sfide più complesse a livello globale, poiché richiede il delicato bilanciamento tra sicurezza degli approvvigionamenti, sostenibilità e competitività. Ha poi aggiunto che serve un ecosistema diversificato di vettori a basse emissioni, all'interno del quale il metanolo si posiziona oggi come una soluzione estremamente concreta e scalabile, sottolineando come agire subito sia ormai un fattore determinante per proteggere l'industria del Paese. A sintesi dell'intera analisi, Lorenzo Tavazzi, Senior Partner e Board Member di TEHA, ha evidenziato come il rinnovamento dello shipping non sia più una prospettiva puramente teorica, ma un processo operativo già ampiamente in atto. Per l'Italia rappresenta una grande opportunità tangibile e misurabile, un segno inequivocabile che gli obiettivi di decarbonizzazione possono coincidere con i target di crescita economica, trasformando la necessaria messa in sicurezza ambientale del mare in un potente e innovativo strumento di politica industriale.

AUCKLAND:ABBhas been selected as the power, propulsion and automation technology partner for two new Ro-Pax ferries, to be namedKupeandCook,which form part ofCook Strait Ferry Replacement Programme,one of New Zealand’s most strategically important infrastructure investments1. ABB will supply the integrated systems required to ensure the reliability, efficiency and environmental performance of the two ferries. To be built byGuangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) shipyard,the ferries will be delivered to New Zealand Government entity Ferry Holdings Limited in 2029. The 200-meter long, 28-meter-wide ferries will operate in the challenging conditions of the Cook Strait – Te Moana-o-Raukawa in Māori – at the junction of the Tasman Sea and the South Pacific Ocean, making the 92-kilometer Wellington-Picton crossing between the North and South Islands. They will offer capacity for 63 percent more passengers (1,530 persons) and 44 percent more freight (2,400 lane meters) than their predecessors. The ferries are rail-enabled, allowing rail freight to be loaded directly onto the vessels, eliminating multiple cargo handling steps during inter-island transfers. Critical for the national economy, these vessels will also deliver high fuel efficiency, lower emissions and reduced underwater radiated noise (URN) that aligns with the most forward-looking ferry projects in the world. Reducing URN has been prioritized to help protect marine life in the Marlborough Sounds, acknowledged in the DNV SILENT-E class notation. “These ferries represent a key investment in New Zealand’s transport infrastructure,”saidMassimo Soprano, Ship Programme Director, Ferry Holdings Limited.“Selecting ABB gives us confidence that we will deliver vessels with world-class power, propulsion and automation technology. These systems are designed for the demanding conditions of Cook Strait and built to minimize environmental impact over their entire lifecycle.” “Growing up on the shores of Lyall Bay in Wellington, I watched the ferries push out into Cook Strait in all conditions, wind, swell and everything in between. That image has stayed with me,”saidPalemia Field, Global Segment Manager for Ferries, ABB’s Marine & Ports division.“That personal connection makes it even more meaningful to now be part of delivering vessels that will transform that crossing. They are quieter, cleaner, more reliable, and built for the next 30 years of New Zealand’s growth.” Combining efficiency and environmental responsibility, ship specifications include a fuel agnostic hybrid-electric power and propulsion plant. The 8.2 MWh battery energy storage system installed will support near-zero-emission harbor operations or a spinning reserve for 10 minutes. The power architecture also allows for the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to scale up to 12.3 MWh with further potential capacity to align with shore charging technologies when available. ABB’s scope of supply includes four main alternators, as well as motors and drives for the three bow thrusters. Two Azipod® propulsion units replace the predecessor ferries’ traditional propeller shafts, rudders and stern thrusters, delivering superior efficiency and a quieter, smoother ride. This is a meaningful improvement for passengers crossing the Cook Strait known for challenging and unpredictable conditions, strong tides and rough seas. The gearless, 360°-steerable Azipod® units also give the ships outstanding maneuverability. The ships will be able to crab2 at 1 knot of speed in 40 knots of wind from any direction, far exceeding what the current fleet can achieve during port entry and departures in Wellington and Picton. At the heart of the ships’ power architecture sits ABB’s PEMS™ Power & Energy Management System, the intelligent ‘brain’ that continuously balances energy across the vessels’ generators, battery energy storage system, propulsion and auxiliary loads. Rather than managing these as separate systems, PEMS™ treats them as one integrated whole: automatically optimizing fuel consumption, enabling harbor operations on battery power alone, and maintaining power continuity in the event of a fault. This level of integration and built-in resilience ensures unmatched operational reliability. PEMS™ has proven this capability across multiple ABB ferry projects worldwide. The system will be complemented with the ABB Ability™ Remote Diagnostic System (RDS) for continuous 24/7 monitoring and access to ABB’s global network of experts. The digital solution enables predictive maintenance, faster troubleshooting, and real-time operational insights, helping operators enhance vessel availability, reduce lifecycle costs, and ensure safe and efficient operations. For ferries at the heart of New Zealand’s freight and passenger network, where an unplanned outage would have direct consequences for schedules, impacting rail connections and thousands of travelers, the ability to detect and resolve issues remotely before they lead to failures is a genuine operational differentiator. 1https://www.ferryholdings.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/FHL-17-July-2026-Media-Pack.pdf2“Crabbing” refers to the ability of a vessel to move sideways – laterally across the water – without changing the direction the bow is pointing, in the same way a crab walks. This maneuver requires the ability to generate thrust in any direction simultaneously and is critical for safe docking in strong crosswinds and currents. It is made possible by Azipod® thrusters, which can rotate a full 360°, combined with bow thrusters at the forward end of the vessel.

El carro con una grúa que se enchufará al buque. CELE RODRIGUEZ La estación de suministro eléctrico de Iberdrola para buques en Vigo ya está instalada. El gigante energético ha culminado la puesta a punto de este servicio en la terminal de Bouzas, con el que aspiran a paliar el impacto de la flota de la automoción, responsable del 45 % de las emisiones en los muelles olívicos debido a su gran rotación. La inversión que ha realizado el gigante energético asciende a dos millones de euros. El Puerto de Vigo e Iberdrola avanzan que un equipo está realizando «los últimos ajustes» para su puesta en marcha definitiva este año. Vigo es el escenario que Iberdrola ha seleccionado para ensayar el suministro de electricidad a barcos durante su estancia en puerto y que después replicará en otras terminales españolas. La nueva instalación permite que los portacoches se conecten directamente a la red terrestre para apagar sus motores auxiliares el tiempo que permanezcan amarrados, minimizando la quema de combustible. La infraestructura consta de dos contenedores con sistemas de transformación y conversión de frecuencia capaces de la electricidad general a las exigencias de la flota con sistema OPS (Onshore Power Supply). Esta denominación se emplea para las modernas embarcaciones que incluyen un equipo para conectarse a la red y nutrirse de un método renovable para mantener operativas sus funciones esenciales durante el amarre como iluminación, climatización, funcionamiento de equipos internos, como grúas, o refrigeración de contenedores. La instalación se complementa con una caseta de control y un carro con un cable de hasta 50 metros y una grúa, que enchufará la línea con el punto de conexión del buque. En la presentación del proyecto, el presidente del Puerto, Carlos Botana, y el director de Servicios Energéticos de Iberdrola en Galicia, Borja Cancela, destacaron además la reducción de ruidos y de vibraciones que favorecerá este sistema al permitir que se apaguen los motores de una flota que opera día y noche. Iberdrola quiere tomar la delantera en una materia que preocupa a la Unión Europea. La normativa de Bruselas exige que para 2030 todos los puertos principales de los países comunitarios dispongan de una infraestructura como este. Aunque la flota de buques ro-ro con un sistema OPS todavía es modesta —se estima en un 15 %—, la mayoría de las nuevas construcciones encargadas por navieras de transporte de vehículos (como Höegh Autoliners, Wallenius Wilhelmsen o Grimaldi) ya salen del astillero con conexión OPS integrada.

Objetivos alcanzados. La dirección general para puertos, logística e intermodalidad del Ministerio de Infraestructuras y Transportes ha gestionado como administración titular tres importantes líneas de inversión del Pnrr: todos los objetivos han sido alcanzados. Veamos en detalle: la electrificación de los muelles ('cold ironing') para permitir el suministro de energía eléctrica a los barcos durante su estancia en puerto con el fin de reducir las emisiones en las áreas portuarias; las inversiones en infraestructuras en las Zonas Económicas Especiales (ZES) para apoyar la competitividad y el desarrollo económico, mediante la creación de conexiones de última milla con puertos y áreas industriales, intervenciones de digitalización logística, urbanización y eficiencia energética e infraestructuras para reforzar la resiliencia de los puertos; la digitalización de la cadena logística para crear un sistema integral permeable entre actores públicos y privados para el transporte de mercancías y la logística, capaz de simplificar procedimientos, procesos y controles, apostando por la digitalización de documentos y el intercambio de datos e información. ZES única también en el Norte: sin recortes al Sur se necesitan al menos 4 mil millones. Resultados: "Para las tres medidas – explica el director general del MIT para puertos, infraestructuras y logística, Donato Liguori – los resultados obtenidos superan el objetivo previsto por el Pnrr. En lo que respecta al 'cold ironing' se destinaron 400 millones de euros y se financiaron 23 intervenciones en 18 puertos, para una potencia instalada superior a 220 MW. Los resultados muestran que se ha superado el objetivo previsto: de hecho, se han concluido 22 intervenciones en 17 puertos, frente a las 15 intervenciones en al menos 10 puertos requeridas". También fue excelente el progreso en las inversiones en infraestructuras en las ZES: "Se destinaron – añade Liguori – 888,8 millones de euros (de los cuales 625,5 asignados a las Autoridades del Sistema Portuario, 193,6 al Departamento para el Sur y 69,7 a RFI) y se financiaron 52 intervenciones. El objetivo era al menos 46 intervenciones completadas, se han completado 50". Además, en cuanto a la digitalización de la cadena logística, "se destinaron – subraya Liguori – 176 millones de euros, de los cuales 30 para la implementación de la Plataforma Logística Nacional (PLN), ya operativa; 45 para la digitalización de las Autoridades del Sistema Portuario, para las que el objetivo se alcanzó con el desarrollo de los Port Community Systems compatibles con la PLN en las 16 AdSP, y de los interpuertos, para los que el objetivo se alcanzó con el desarrollo de un sistema para el Freight Village System (FVS) en 15 interpuertos frente a los 12 requeridos". Además, 101 millones de euros se invirtieron en la digitalización de las empresas de transporte de mercancías y logística. "También en este caso se alcanzó el objetivo con la concesión de incentivos a 850 empresas destinados a la realización o compra de sistemas de gestión capaces de garantizar la interoperabilidad con la PLN y los PCS". La satisfacción por el logro de estos objetivos es evidente. "El MIT, a través de la dirección general de puertos – subraya Liguori – en concierto con la Unidad de misión Pnrr, ha acompañado a los sujetos ejecutores y beneficiarios de los fondos a lo largo de todo el proceso, desde la programación y asignación de los recursos hasta el seguimiento de la ejecución de las intervenciones, asegurando la supervisión de las actividades necesarias para alcanzar los objetivos". En definitiva, el MIT, a través de la dirección general de puertos, en concierto con la Unidad de misión Pnrr, ha acompañado paso a paso a los sujetos ejecutores y a todos los beneficiarios de los fondos durante el proceso, desde la programación y asignación de los recursos hasta el seguimiento de la ejecución de las intervenciones, asegurando la supervisión de las actividades necesarias para alcanzar los objetivos. Capolinea Pnrr, ahora el último acto: "Pero los beneficios serán duraderos". "El resultado es fruto de un constante esfuerzo común iniciado desde la programación de las intervenciones a realizar. Un trabajo posible – concluye Liguori – sobre todo gracias a la dirección y el apoyo asegurados por el ministro Matteo Salvini y el viceministro Edoardo Rixi, que han prestado gran atención al fortalecimiento de la competitividad del sistema portuario y logístico italiano y al pleno uso de los recursos del Pnrr. El logro de los objetivos previstos representa un resultado importante para el MIT y, sobre todo, para la modernización y eficiencia de la logística de nuestro país". © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS Este artículo se traduce automáticamente

Obiettivi centrati. La direzione generale per i porti, la logistica e l’intermodalità del ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Traporti ha gestito come amministrazione titolare ... Obiettivi centrati. La direzione generale per i porti, la logistica e l’intermodalità del ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Traporti ha gestito come amministrazione titolare tre rilevanti linee di investimento Pnrr: gli obiettivi sono stati tutti centrati. Vediamo il dettaglio: l’elettrificazione delle banchine (“cold ironing”) per consentire la fornitura dell’energia elettrica delle navi durante la sosta in porto al fine di abbattere le emissioni nelle aree portuali; gli investimenti infrastrutturali nelle Zes per sostenere la competitività e lo sviluppo economico, tramite la realizzazione di collegamenti di ultimo miglio con porti e aree industriali, interventi di digitalizzazione della logistica, urbanizzazione ed efficientamento energetico e infrastrutture per il rafforzamento della resilienza dei porti; la digitalizzazione della catena logistica al fine di creare un sistema intero permeabile tra attori pubblici e privati per il trasporto delle merci e della logistica, in grado di semplificare procedure, processi e controlli, puntando sulla digitalizzazione dei documenti e lo scambio dei dati e informazioni. Zes unica anche al Nord: senza tagli al Mezzogiorno servono almeno 4 miliardi I risultati «Per tutte e tre le misure - spiega il direttore generale del Mit per porti, infrastrutture e logistica, Donato Liguori - i risultati conseguiti evidenziano il superamento del target previsto dal Pnrr. Per quanto riguarda il cold ironing sono stati stanziati 400 milioni di euro e finanziati 23 interventi in 18 porti, per una potenza installata superiore a 220 MW. I risultati conseguiti evidenziano il superamento del target previsto: sono stati infatti conclusi 22 interventi in 17 porti, rispetto ai 15 interventi in almeno 10 porti richiesti». Ottimo l’andamento anche per quanto riguarda gli investimenti infrastrutturali nelle Zes: «Sono stati stanziati - aggiunge Liguori - 888,8 milioni di euro (di cui 625,5 assegnati alle Autorità di Sistema portuale, 193,6 al Dipartimento per il Sud e 69,7 a RFI) e finanziati 52 interventi. Il target prevedeva almeno 46 interventi completati, ne sono stati completati 50». E ancora. Per quanto riguarda la digitalizzazione della catena logistica, «sono stati stanziati - sottolinea Liguori - 176 milioni di euro, di cui 30 per l’implementazione della Piattaforma logistica nazionale (Pnl), già operativa; 45 per la digitalizzazione delle Autorità di sistema portuale, per cui il target è stato raggiunto con lo sviluppo dei Port Community Sistems compatibili con la Pnl in tutte e 16 le Adsp, e degli interporti, per cui il target è stato raggiunto con lo sviluppo di un sistema per villaggio merci (Freigh Village System – Fvs) in 15 interporti rispetto ai 12 richiesti». Inoltre 101 milioni di euro sono stati investiti per la digitalizzazione delle imprese di trasporto merci e logistica. «Anche in questo caso il target è stato raggiunto con l’erogazione di incentivi a 850 imprese finalizzati alla realizzazione o acquisto di sistemi gestionali in grado di garantire l’interoperabilità con la Pln e con i Pcs». La soddisfazione per il raggiungimento di questi obiettivi è evidente. «Il Mit, attraverso la direzione generale porti - sottolinea Liguori - di concerto con l’Unità di missione Pnrr, ha accompagnato i soggetti attuatori e i beneficiari dei finanziamenti lungo l’intero percorso, dalla programmazione e assegnazione delle risorse al monitoraggio dell’attuazione degli interventi, assicurando il presidio delle attività necessarie al conseguimento dei target». Insomma nello specifico il Mit, attraverso la direzione generale porti, di concerto con l’Unità di missione Pnrr, ha accompagnato passo dopo passo i soggetti attuatori e tutti i beneficiari dei finanziamenti durante il percorso, dalla programmazione e assegnazione delle risorse al monitoraggio dell’attuazione degli interventi, assicurando il presidio delle attività necessarie al conseguimento degli obiettivi. Capolinea Pnrr, ora l’ultimo atto: «Ma i benefici saranno duraturi» «Il risultato è frutto di un costante impegno comune iniziato sin dalla programmazione degli interventi da effettuare. Un lavoro reso possibile - conclude Liguori - soprattutto dall’indirizzo e dal sostegno assicurati dal ministro Matteo Salvini e dal viceministro Edoardo Rixi, che hanno posto grande attenzione al rafforzamento della competitività del sistema portuale e logistico italiano e al pieno utilizzo delle risorse del Pnrr. Il superamento degli obiettivi previsti rappresenta un risultato importante per il Mit e, soprattutto, per la modernizzazione e l’efficienza della logistica del nostro Paese».

[Stay on top of transportation news:Get TTNews in your inbox.] A $45 million incentive effort at the Port of New York and New Jersey will direct millions of dollars toward expanding electric truck charging infrastructure, a key hurdle in the transition to zero-emission freight operations.California-based nonprofitCalstartand thePort Authority of New York and New Jerseyannounced Sept. 3 that they will launch two programs this fall aimed at supporting electric truck purchases and the charging systems needed to keep them operating at the East Coast’s busiest seaport.The initiative’s Clean Truck Incentive Program will make up to $39 million available through point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, terminal tractors and related charging equipment. By tying vehicle incentives to charging investments, officials aim to address one of the main barriers to fleet electrification,according to a news release.The infrastructure component is centered on the Green Drayage Accelerator, a $5 million program that will fund as many as five electric truck charging hubs within 10 miles of the port’s marine terminal facilities. The charging sites are intended to serve drayage operators that move freight between terminals, warehouses and distribution centers throughout the region.“Deploying zero-emission trucks at scale requires pairing accessible vehicle incentives with reliable, high-capacity charging,” said Alycia Gilde, Calstart’s executive vice president of California and regional market acceleration.Port officials said the programs are designed to ensure charging capacity expands in tandem with electric vehicle adoption rather than lagging behind it.“We’re making zero-emission trucks and terminal tractors more affordable for the operators who keep this port running, backed by the charging infrastructure they’ll need to power them,” Port Director Bethann Rooney said.Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole said the investment is intended to extend beyond port property and support freight movement throughout the surrounding logistics network.RoadSigns has reached its 200th episode since its origins in 2018.

Tune in above or by going toRoadSigns.ttnews.com.“This $45 million partnership with Calstart puts zero-emission trucks, terminal tractors, and charging infrastructure within reach for the operators who serve this port every day,” O’Toole said.The charging initiative is part of a broader $451 million grant the Port Authority received through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Ports Program. That funding also will support the installation of electric cargo-handling equipment at marine terminals and shore power infrastructure that allows container ships to plug into the electrical grid while docked rather than run auxiliary engines.Calstart will administer both incentive programs and develop tracking dashboards to monitor deployment progress, vehicle performance and charger utilization. The dashboards will be transferred to the Port Authority in 2028, according to the announcement.The effort builds on charging investments already underway at the port. Last year, the Port Authority opened an electric truck charging station at Port Newark that includes four fast chargers at the truck welcome center.The new charging hubs are part of the Port Authority’s strategy to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while helping tenants, contractors and other port users meet the same target. Officials said outreach to trucking companies and other stakeholders will begin in the coming weeks ahead of the programs’ launch this fall.Assisted by AI.

NEWARK, NJ — The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has taken several more steps towards its goal of reaching “net-zero” carbon emissions with the announcement of new clean energy projects at Port Newark and Newark Airport, the agency says. Earlier this year, the Port Authority reported that it met a interim target of a 35 percent reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. The bi-state agency said it remains firmly on track toward its longer-term goals of a 50 percent reduction of direct emissions by 2030, andfull net-zero carbon emissions by 2050– a goal that was first announced during the Biden administration. The Port Authority released anet-zero roadmapin 2023. PORT NEWARK On Thursday, the agency announced the latest move towards sustainability at the East Coast’s busiest shipping port: a $45 million push to adopt zero-emission drayage trucks and terminal tractors – along with the charging infrastructure needed to power them. “The trucks that move through our gates don't stop there – they fan out to warehouses and distribution hubs across the region, carrying the goods that power our economy,” Port Authority chair Kevin O’Toole said. “Cleaner trucks here mean cleaner air not just for our port facilities, but for every community along the routes these trucks travel,” O’Toole said. The Port Authority shared the following details about two incentive programs that will help push the project towards the finish line: “Commencing this fall, CALSTART will serve as the program designer and administrator for the Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) Program and Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA), looking to drive zero-emission commercial fleet adoption across the East Coast’s busiest seaport. CTI will deploy up to $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, yard tractors, and supporting charging infrastructure. The $5 million GDA program aims to award up to five electric truck charging hubs within 10 miles of the Port Authority’s seaport facilities (or marine terminal facilities). The programs are designed to advance the Port Authority’s sustainability goals by accelerating cleaner technologies while providing port operators with affordable, discounted electric vehicles and charging options.” The programs are funded through a $451 million grant awarded to the Port Authority through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Clean Ports Program.” Beyond the CALSTART-administered programs, the grant will also fund the deployment of electric cargo handling equipment at marine terminals and the installation of vessel shore power infrastructure to allow container ships to plug in while at berth and shut down their auxiliary engines. NEWARK AIRPORT In May, the Port Authority announced plans for a major expansion of solar energy infrastructure at Newark Airport. The agency said the expansion will add nearly five megawatts of generating capacity across five airport sites and will produce nearly 5.9 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity in its first year of operation: enough to power more than 550 homes. Developed in partnership with SunLight General Capital under a power purchase agreement, the project will be designed, built, financed, owned, operated and maintained by the developer. The Port Authority will purchase the electricity generated at a pre-determined rate, locking in long-term cost certainty while minimizing upfront capital expenditure, the agency said. Construction is expected to begin this year, with completion targeted for 2028. Gov. Mikie Sherrill gave a thumbs-up to the news, pointing to her own efforts tobuild out solar power in New Jersey. “Newark Liberty is one of the front doors to New Jersey, and this project will show why we are a national leader in energy innovation,” Sherrill said. THE QUEST FOR ‘ZERO’ Port Authority spokespeople recently shared a list of some other initiatives in New Jersey and New York that contributed to last year’s 35 percent reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions. The list included: Fleet Electrification– “The Port Authority hasmet its interim goalof electrifying 50 percent of its non-emergency light-duty vehicle fleet, with 404 of 797 such vehicles now electric, supported by 305 EV charging ports across Port Authority facilities. The agency has committed to converting its entire non-emergency light-duty fleet to electric by 2028. The net-zero roadmap also targets replacing 50 percent of non-emergency medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with zero-emission alternatives by 2035, with a pilot program underway to begin transitioning emergency response vehicles to electric.” LED Lighting Upgrades Across Facilities –“The Port Authority has systematically converted lighting at its buildings and facilities from conventional to LED technology. The upgrades significantly reduce energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improve safety and visibility. These include lighting upgrades at the agency’s crossings, including the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Bayonne Bridge, Goethals Bridge, and Outerbridge Crossing.” Newark Airport’s Building One Becomes Agency’s First Decarbonized Building– “Dedicated in 1935 as the nation’s first air passenger terminal, EWR’s Building One became the Port Authority’s first building to undergo afull decarbonization retrofitwith electric boilers, heat pumps, and other clean-energy tools, eliminating all fossil fuel use within the building.” Send local news tips and correction requests to eric.kiefer@patch.com.

FILE - Amazon Web Services data center is visible on Aug. 22, 2024, in Boardman, Ore.Photo: Associated Press/AP Photo/Jenny Kane, File MANCHESTER, N.H.-Granite Shore Power, the company who owns the now retired Merrimack Station in Bow, has filed a request with the Federal officials to begin talks with Eversource about connecting to the power grid for what is believed to be a data center. According to paperwork filed in April, Granite Shore Power says the study will work to “identify “possible adverse impacts” of connecting to Eversource’s system and examine“the supporting infrastructure needed to mitigate such possible impacts.” However, the paperwork doesn’t specify the type of project or exactly where it would be located. But it does seek to connect a 350-megawatt project to the power grid. The possibility of the facility in question being a data center comes after the state’s Consumer Advocate Donald Kreis on Monday posted to social media that at a recent meeting officials from Eversource “let slip” that it was talking with a developer interested in building a data center in Bow. Town officials meanwhile tell the Concord Monitor there have been talks with an unnamed company about bringing a data center to town. As for how state officials are feel about the possibility of a data center being set up, Governor Kelly Ayotte Wednesday said Wednesday she’s not entirely on board with the idea due to a number of established concerns; “We know that there are other environmental impacts, including water, noise impact to local communities…And that’s why I think it’s appropriate that we have a moratorium on data centers, so that we can evaluate all of these concerns that have legitimately been raised: energy, water, noise, other concerns that members of the community have raised about siting data centers. I just don’t see a place for data centers here in New Hampshire.” As for her thoughts on the talks between officials in Bow and Eversource Ayotte went on to tell WMUR-TV she wasn’t impressed.

AJOT Newsroom | Sep 03 2026 at 11:40 AM |Ports & Terminals The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey leading clean transportation nonprofit CALSTART today announced a pair of incentive programs totaling $45 million to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission (ZE) drayage trucks and terminal tractors, alongside the essential charging infrastructure needed to power them at the Port of New York and New Jersey. Commencing this fall, CALSTART will serve as the program designer and administrator for the Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) Program and Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA), looking to drive zero-emission commercial fleet adoption across the East Coast’s busiest seaport. CTI will deploy up to $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, yard tractors, and supporting charging infrastructure. The $5 million GDA program aims to award up to five electric truck charging hubs within 10 miles of the Port Authority’s seaport facilities (or marine terminal facilities). The programs are designed to advance the Port Authority’s sustainability goals by accelerating cleaner technologies while providing port operators with affordable, discounted electric vehicles and charging options. They complement a multitude of other sustainability initiatives at the seaport as the Port Authority looks to encourage all links in the supply chain, including ocean carriers, container terminals, and trucking companies to adopt greener operations. The agency has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, including helping its wide universe of operating partners, tenants and contractors to reach the same goal in the same timeframe. “The trucks that move through our gates don't stop there. They fan out to warehouses and distribution hubs across the region, carrying the goods that power our economy,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “This $45 million partnership with CALSTART puts zero-emission trucks, terminal tractors, and charging infrastructure within reach for the operators who serve this port every day. Cleaner trucks here mean cleaner air not just for our port facilities, but for every community along the routes these trucks travel.” “The Port Authority has committed to reaching net-zero by 2050, and we can't get there without bringing our tenants, contractors, and partners like the trucking community along with us,” said Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia. “These new incentive programs make it financially realistic for drayage operators to switch to zero-emission trucks and yard equipment. Paired with other industry-leading programs and regulations, we’re making sure we back up our ambitious sustainability commitments with real action.” “Drayage operators are the backbone of this port, keeping freight moving day and night from our terminals to warehouses and businesses across the region,” said Port Authority Port Director Bethann Rooney. “We know that any shift towards cleaner operations must happen through real support and partnership, rather than top-down mandates. We’re making zero-emission trucks and terminal tractors more affordable for the operators who keep this port running, backed by the charging infrastructure they'll need to power them.” "Deploying zero-emission trucks at scale requires pairing accessible vehicle incentives with reliable, high-capacity charging,” said CALSTART Executive Vice President of California and regional market acceleration Alycia Gilde. “By combining flexible financial support with streamlined program administration, our partnership with the Port Authority lowers the barrier to entry for drayage operators, modernizing the East Coast supply chain while delivering immediate, tangible air quality improvements to local port communities.” To ensure transparency and measure long-term impact, CALSTART will build and launch dynamic tracking dashboards for both initiatives. These tools will monitor deployment, vehicle performance, and charger utilization across port operations before being fully transferred to the Port Authority in 2028. Port Authority and CALSTART staff will conduct outreach with the trucking community through in-person and online presentations and informational pamphlets over the coming weeks. The programs are funded through a $451 million grant awarded to the Port Authority through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Ports Program, the largest sustainability grant in Port Authority history. Beyond the CALSTART-administered programs, the grant will also fund the deployment of electric cargo handling equipment at marine terminals and the installation of vessel shore power infrastructure to allow container ships to plug in while at berth and shut down their auxiliary engines. A separate $3 million EPA planning grant will fund the creation of a Port Community Advisory Council. Subrecipients of the overall award will also be positioned to pursue workforce training and job creation efforts tied to the clean energy sector. The programs will further strengthen the Port Authority’s wide-ranging, ambitious sustainability agenda. Through its comprehensive net-zero roadmap, the agency has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while assisting the broad ecosystem of operating partners, tenants and contractors in reaching the same goals in the same timeframe. At the seaport, these efforts have taken several forms. The Truck Replacement Program provides financial incentives to trucking companies that swap out older, higher-emission engines for newer, cleaner ones. The Clean Vessel Incentive program similarly rewards ocean carriers that voluntarily reduce speed near the port, cutting air emissions and conserving fuel in the process. The agency has also built emissions requirements into its marine terminal rules and regulations, mandating that terminal operators shift to zero-emission cargo handling equipment as it becomes commercially available, a move designed to build market demand and push the industry toward further innovation. Additionally, the continued expansion of the seaport's on-dock ExpressRail system allows goods to move to the Midwest, New England, and eastern Canada more sustainably than trucking alone. The agency also opened an electric truck charging station at Port Newark last year, with four super-fast chargers located at the truck welcome center at Marlin and Kellogg streets. The port's tenants have pursued their own sustainability initiatives as well, among them Port Newark Container Terminal's recently completed solar installation. Progress toward the Port Authority's emissions goals is documented in the seaport's latest 2024 Air Emissions Inventory and Efficiency, which shows sulfur dioxide down 98 percent and both nitrogen oxide and particulate matter down more than 83 percent from 2006 baseline levels, even as cargo volume climbed nearly 71 percent over the same period. The new programs are also part of a broader push to streamline and improve conditions for the truckers who serve the port, alongside upgraded public restrooms, better roadway paving and striping, new wayfinding and navigation signage, and stronger channels for feedback between drayage drivers and port staff. Meanwhile, the ongoing Port Street Corridor Improvement Project is reworking and modernizing one of the port complex's key interchanges, aiming to make operations safer and more efficient for the thousands of trucks that pass through daily.

An integrated project team comprising Smulders HSM, a provider of multidisciplinary offshore platform solutions, SPIE, a multi-technical services provider, and offshore installation partner Scaldis, has been tasked with handling the next phase of a gas project in the Dutch North Sea, with a new compression module set to extend the operating life of the asset’s offshore platform, which is running on offshore wind energy. The Netherlands-headquarteredONE-Dyas, as the operator of theN05-A platform, has awarded Smulders HSM a contract to build and integrate a new compression module that will enable efficient gas production from theN05-A fieldin the future. The module is expected to be integrated into the existing platform from June 2027. Smulders HSM will work with SPIE and Scaldis to deliver the project as an integrated team, with the companies aiming to reduce interfaces between contractors and streamline decision-making throughout the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) phases. SPIE, which is acting as Smulders HSM’s multi-technical partner, will deliver the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical, and electrical and instrumentation (E&I) scope for the compression module. The firm underlined:“Combining these disciplines within a single organization reduces the number of interfaces, streamlines communication and improves overall execution efficiency. This multidisciplinary approach offers significant benefits, particularly when integrating new installations into an existing offshore platform.” The module will comprise two independent compression trains, allowing the platform to continue operating under varying pressure conditions as reservoir characteristics change over time. The N05-A platform, which has been operational since March 2025, is the first offshore gas production platform in the North Sea to operate entirely on electricity generated by offshore wind power, according to SPIE. The platform useselectricityfrom the German offshore wind farmRiffgat, helping to reduce itsdirect operational emissionscompared with conventional offshore gas production powered by fossil fuels. The new compression module is designed to enable longer and more efficient gas production from the N05-A field, while making greater use of the existing offshore infrastructure.

Europe’s gas goes green: North Sea offshore wind-powered project earns top methane rating The North Sea project went through years of preparation, several hurdles, acourt-ordered temporary halt of operationsdue to opposition from climate activists, and a provisional ruling thatenabledthe operator to move forward with its planned activities. Marthijn van Dessel, Sector Director at SPIE in the Netherlands, commented: “The fact that ONE-Dyas and Smulders HSM have once again chosen to work with us for this next phase speaks volumes. We know the platform, we know each other, and we deliver HVAC, mechanical and E&I as a single integrated package. “This reduces the need for coordination between multiple parties, streamlines communication and enables more efficient project execution. Ultimately, that improves quality, schedule reliability and the overall predictability of project delivery.” The compression module addition comes as the Netherlands continues to transition its energy system while maintaining natural gas as part of its energy mix. SPIE claims that the N05-A project demonstrates how electrification and existing infrastructure can be combined to curb the direct emissions associated with offshore gas production. SPIE noted:“As the Netherlands continues its energy transition natural gas will remain part of the energy mix for the foreseeable future. The challenge is therefore to produce it as efficiently and with as few emissions as possible. “N05-A illustrates this approach: an electrified offshore platform powered by wind energy, demonstrating how innovative technology can significantly reduce the direct operational emissions associated with energy production.” The Dutch-German energy project is situated in the border segment, where several small fields together contribute to a stable energy supply for the Netherlands and Germany, with an estimated potential of about 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the so-called Gateway to the Ems (GEMS) area. By integrating the new compression module, the partners, ONE-Dyas, EBN, and Tenaz Energy, aim to extend the productive life of the N05-A field while continuing to operate the platform using electricity generated by offshore wind.

Le centraline sui moli sono pronte, la rete elettrica intelligente è stata realizzata e il ministero dei Trasporti ha pubblicato le linee guida per indire le gare. L’Autorità portuale di Trieste e Monfalcone può avviare l’iter amministrativo per attivare il cold ironing, ovvero l’elettrificazione dei moli. Il sistema permette alle navi ormeggiate di collegarsi a una centralina che fornisce l’energia necessaria a bordo, senza più bisogno di tenere accesi i generatori ed emettere fumi in prossimità dei centri abitati. I fondi europei La realizzazione dei sistemi di cold ironing è stata finanziata in tutti gli scali italiani con fondi statali ed europei: 800 milioni per una cinquantina di interventi. Si tratta di un passaggio fondamentale anzitutto per ridurre l’impatto delle navi da crociera. Nel porto l’intervento ammonta a oltre 46 milioni, con cui l’Authority ha realizzato punti di connessione al Molo Bersaglieri (crociere), in Riva Traiana e Molo V (ro-ro), al Molo VII (container), in Piattaforma logistica e nella banchina pubblica di Monfalcone (merci varie). Alle opere fronte mare si sommano quelle nel retroporto, a cominciare dalla creazione della smart grid cittadina di AcegasApsAmga (investimento da 26 milioni), che permetterà di reggere l’aumento di domanda sulla rete. In fase autorizzativa, invece, il prossimo potenziamento dell’elettrodotto di Terna dal costo stimato di 80 milioni. Fra illuminazione, ventilazione, refrigerazione e funzionamento dei sistemi di bordo e dei servizi alberghieri, un’unità da crociera di grandi dimensioni necessita fra 9 e 18 MW all’ora: quanto 40.000 cittadini. I numeri si riducono a 2-4 MW nel caso di portacontainer e a 2 per un traghetto ro-ro. Una nave brucia in media 2 quintali di gasolio all’ora per ogni MW di elettricità autoprodotto. In dieci ore una grande nave da crociera può arrivare a consumare 40 tonnellate di carburante ed emettere 125 tonnellate di Co2. Con il cold ironing il fabbisogno elettrico non diminuisce, ma l’elettricità arriva dalla rete e non più dai generatori di bordo. Test al via L’Autorità portuale ha avviato i test sulle centraline appena consegnate, impiegando banchi resistivi che simulano l’assorbimento della nave. I test sono in corso al Molo V e al Molo VII, a breve partiranno al Molo Bersaglieri e a Monfalcone. Il presidente Marco Consalvo ha avviato inoltre contatti con le compagnie armatrici per chiedere la messa a disposizione di unità per partire con le prove vere e proprie sulle navi, indispensabili per la taratura finale degli impianti. Msc potrebbe fornire un’unità da crociera e Dfds si è resa disponibile per i traghetti ro-ro. I test procederanno in parallelo alla gara che l’Adsp dovrà bandire per l’affidamento del servizio e che si baserà sulle linee guida appena varate dal Mit. Il documento definisce il cold ironing un servizio tecnico-commerciale di interesse generale e stabilisce che non venga erogato direttamente dalle Autorità portuali, ma individuando un soggetto di mercato in grado di vendere energia agli armatori e gestire il servizio di connessione tra nave e centralina. L’obiettivo è far partire la procedura di selezione entro la fine dell’anno. Verso la gara La gara sarà rivolta agli operatori del mondo dell’energia ma, prima di arrivare al bando, dovranno essere chiariti diversi elementi, a cominciare dalla decisione di individuare un gestore unico o prevedere tanti affidamenti quanti sono i terminal. L’Adsp metterà a disposizione delle società interessate i requisiti tecnici relativi a potenza necessaria, quantità di elettricità disponibile sulla rete, picchi previsti e numero di navi da servire annualmente. Il soggetto gestore opererà tramite concessione all’interno delle banchine: prima della gara dovrà essere apprestato per ogni molo un protocollo che precisi procedure operative e profili di sicurezza: a settembre l’Autorità portuale ha calendarizzato gli incontri con i terminalisti. Il presidente Consalvo spiega che «siamo nella fase finale di un percorso di miglioramento della sostenibilità dei servizi marittimi e di integrazione dei porti con i territori, sosterremo con determinazione l’uso dei nuovi impianti di cold ironing». Un nuovo mercato

SANTOS, Brazil, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --DP Worldhas earned the Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program for the third consecutive year, recognizing the quality, transparency, and independent verification of the company's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory in Brazil. Coordinated by theCenter for Sustainability Studies of Fundação Getulio Vargas(FGVces), the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program promotes the measurement and public disclosure of corporate emissions using an internationally recognized methodology. The Gold Seal is awarded to organizations whose published emissions inventories undergo independent third-party verification. At Santos, DP World is pairing transparent emissions reporting with investment in lower-emission operations. As part of itsbroader decarbonization program in Brazil, the company has committed more than BRL 100 million to electrifying its entire fleet of 22 rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, avoiding approximately 3,600 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2025.DP World's 2025 Sustainable Development Impact Disclosureidentified RTG electrification as the primary driver of emissions reductions at Santos. Earlier this year, the companyadded 15 electric internal terminal vehicles (ITVs) and three electric reach stackersin Santos, with 44 electric ITVs planned as part of the terminal's broader modernization. Between January and April 2026, diesel consumption declined 29.2% compared with the 2024 average. Fabio Siccherino, CEO of DP World in Brazil, said: “Earning the Gold Seal for a third consecutive year demonstrates the consistency and transparency of how we measure and manage our emissions. We are turning that data into action through continued investment in electrification and renewable energy, reducing emissions while modernizing our operations and supporting more efficient and sustainable trade for our customers.” All electricity consumed at DP World's Santos terminal is sourced from renewable energy and verified through I-RECs. The company'sZero Landfill Programalso diverts waste that would otherwise be sent to landfill toward recycling, material recovery or energy recovery. These efforts complement DP World'songoing BRL 1.6 billion expansion of the Santos terminal, which will increase annual container handling capacity to 1.7 million TEUs by 2026, with plans to further increase it to 2.1 million TEUs. By investing in capacity, electric equipment and renewable energy, DP World is supporting growing trade volumes while reducing emissions and advancing its global net-zero commitment for 2050.

Trasporto Il ruolo dell’idrogeno verde nella decarbonizzazione dei porti e del trasporto marittimo è stato al centro del tavolo di lavoro promosso e organizzato da Gente di Mare – Formazione Marittima, su iniziativa dell’amministratore delegato Elena Di Tizio, in occasione della visita a Livorno della delegazione dell’Université des Sciences et de la Technologie d’Oran Mohamed-Boudiaf (USTO-MB) e di USTO-MB/FPS. All’incontro hanno partecipato il Prefetto Giancarlo Dionisi, Commissario straordinario per la Darsena Europa; Francesco Macrì, Presidente di Leonardo e Presidente della Fondazione ITS Energia, Ambiente e Sostenibilità della Toscana; Pierpaolo Vinciguerra del gruppo F.lli Cosulich, esperto di LNG, idrogeno e combustibili alternativi applicati al settore marittimo; il professor Umberto Desideri dell’Università di Pisa; Luca Giacomelli di ErreDue; rappresentanti di Compolab e Sara Evangelisti, R&D Director di Gas and Heat. La delegazione algerina era invece composta dal professor Ahmed Hamou, Rettore dell’Università USTO-MB, dal professor Ibrahim Ayad, responsabile della delegazione, da Sayad Nasr Eddine e da Brahim Berreguig. I relatori hanno approfondito le condizioni necessarie per sviluppare una filiera dell’idrogeno verde capace di collegare produzione da fonti rinnovabili, infrastrutture portuali, ricerca scientifica, tecnologie industriali e formazione specialistica. Tra i temi affrontati: produzione di idrogeno attraverso elettrolisi dell’acqua alimentata da energia rinnovabile, sistemi di stoccaggio e distribuzione, fuel cell, applicazioni portuali e industriali, sicurezza degli impianti, certificazione e qualificazione del personale. Accanto all’idrogeno, il confronto ha riguardato anche il ruolo dell’LNG e del bio-LNG come soluzioni già disponibili per accompagnare la transizione energetica del trasporto marittimo. Le competenze maturate nei sistemi criogenici, nello stoccaggio e nel bunkeraggio dell’LNG rappresentano inoltre una base tecnologica e professionale significativa per il futuro sviluppo dell’idrogeno liquido e degli altri combustibili alternativi. Nel suo intervento, il Prefetto Giancarlo Dionisi, nella veste di Commissario straordinario per la Darsena Europa, ha sottolineato la necessità di accompagnare la realizzazione delle opere con una programmazione delle condizioni energetiche necessarie alla futura operatività della nuova infrastruttura. L’obiettivo è costruire una vera “energy readiness”, predisponendo reti, potenze, spazi e sistemi di sicurezza capaci di adattarsi all’evoluzione dell’idrogeno, dell’elettrificazione e dei nuovi combustibili marittimi. Il Presidente Francesco Macrì ha posto al centro del proprio contributo il valore strategico della formazione per la transizione energetica e il ruolo che l’ITS Energia, Ambiente e Sostenibilità della Toscana potrà assumere nella preparazione delle nuove figure professionali. Macrì ha espresso pieno sostegno allo sviluppo delle sinergie internazionali e alla cooperazione tra Italia e Algeria, evidenziando la possibilità di costruire percorsi formativi condivisi, progettati insieme alle università e alle imprese e calibrati sui nuovi fabbisogni delle filiere energetiche. Pierpaolo Vinciguerra ha contribuito al confronto con la propria esperienza nei settori dell’LNG, dell’idrogeno e dei combustibili alternativi, sottolineando come lo sviluppo tecnologico debba essere accompagnato da adeguati standard di sicurezza, certificazione e formazione specialistica per il personale marittimo e gli operatori degli impianti. Il professor Umberto Desideri dell’Università di Pisa ha illustrato gli scenari scientifici ed energetici connessi alla produzione e all’utilizzo dell’idrogeno, mentre ErreDue, Compolab e Gas and Heat hanno portato al tavolo competenze relative a elettrolizzatori, sistemi a idrogeno, fuel cell, tecnologie criogeniche, LNG e combustibili alternativi. “L’idrogeno verde può diventare uno degli assi strategici della cooperazione energetica tra Italia e Algeria, ma la tecnologia da sola non è sufficiente”, ha dichiarato Elena Di Tizio, amministratore delegato di Gente di Mare. “È necessario formare tecnici e operatori capaci di gestire impianti e processi complessi in condizioni di piena sicurezza. Il nostro obiettivo è costruire un ponte stabile tra formazione, ricerca e industria, trasformando questa collaborazione in progetti concreti per le imprese e per il futuro energetico delle due sponde del Mediterraneo”. La giornata rappresenta un ulteriore passo nel programma di cooperazione sviluppato da Gente di Mare con USTO-MB e USTO-MB/FPS nei settori della formazione, della certificazione, della sicurezza industriale e del trasferimento di competenze. Il percorso comprende anche le attività rivolte al personale di Sonatrach, uno dei principali operatori energetici algerini. L’incontro si è concluso con la volontà condivisa di proseguire il tavolo di lavoro, individuando ambiti nei quali sviluppare programmi formativi, ricerca applicata e possibili progetti pilota dedicati all’idrogeno verde e ai nuovi combustibili marittimi.

USD 1.9 billion in 2026 and USD 4.1 billion by 2036 at an 8.1% CAGR. Demand for electric inboard motors is expected to drive industry valuation from USD 1.9 billion in 2026 to USD 4.1 billion by 2036 at an 8.1% CAGR. Fleet replacement becomes a motor-order trigger once an operator fixes propulsion requirements for a funded vessel class. In August 2025, Eastern Shipbuilding Group said it received notice to proceed from Washington State Ferries for two 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries with an option for a third. Multi-vessel programs favormarine propulsion systemsproviders that can match continuous output, controls and charging plans to a repeatable route. Charging access determines whether an approved motor specification can support routine vessel use. In June 2025, Voies navigables de France said its Borne & Eau network would reach 110 electricity-and-water points in 2026 for freight and cruise boats on the Seine system. Shore power reduces generator use at berth and gives operators clearer charging windows. That infrastructure changesmarine power battery systemssizing, so battery capacity, charge time and motor load must be reconciled during repower planning. "Electric inboard projects are won or lost on shaft fit, battery reserve and the time available to recharge between trips. A motor that meets the power target still loses the order if the yard must redesign the machinery space or the operator cannot charge ahead of the next duty cycle." -Nikhil Kaitwade, Principal Consultant, Future Market Insights The electric inboard motors market is segmented by motor configuration, power rating, vessel type, system voltage, sales channel and region. Motor configuration includes direct-drive inboard motors, saildrive electric motors, hybrid-ready inboard motors, high-torque displacement motors and integrated inboard propulsion modules. Power rating covers below 20 kW, 20-100 kW, 100-500 kW and above 500 kW. Vessel type includes sailboats, yachts, workboats, ferries and canal or inland boats. System voltage covers below 48 V, 48-96 V, 96-400 V and above 400 V. Sales channels comprise boat OEMs, repower or retrofit yards, propulsion integrators and marine distributors. Smaller displacement craft need sustained low-speed thrust without the battery mass of larger commercial vessels, reducing cable and cooling pressure within the widerelectric motor marketduring routine operation. Sailboats use inboard propulsion mainly for harbor maneuvers and calms, so efficient displacement hulls keep loads compatible withrecreational boatingbatteries.Yacht designcan limit battery space and machinery access on retrofit projects for older vessels. Below 48 V systems suit lower-output boats that prioritize familiar service practices and simpler electrical segregation during retrofit work. In March 2025, MOLABO GmbH disclosed that its ARIES i30 delivers up to 29.9 kW at 48 V. Boat OEMs choose propulsion before machinery space and battery layouts are fixed, which reduces installation rework. In February 2026, MOLABO GmbH documented Baltic Yachts' use of 48 V motors for propulsion, hydraulic functions and energy generation on several boats. Operating rules and fleet investment strengthen demand, battery and integration requirements slow adoption, and repeatable control packages widen installation routes. Zero-emission rules affect demand most directly once they determine vessel access or scheduled service. In April 2025, Norway's Ministry of Climate and Environment confirmed January 2026 zero-emission requirements for covered passenger ships below 10,000 gross tons and shore-power use where available.Marine enginesthat cannot satisfy the route rule face earlier replacement scrutiny on affected services, forcing operators to test propulsion output against route and shore-power constraints. Battery approval can extend vessel engineering once an electric motor already meets its propulsion requirement. In February 2026, the Norwegian Maritime Authority reopened consultation on rules for ships using lithium-ion battery systems of at least 20 kWh. The proposal places battery documentation inside vessel-safety review, so repower yards must schedule battery evidence andship repair servicesahead of a fixed conversion date. Common helm interfaces reduce custom engineering on twin-motor installations by standardizing low-speed thrust commands. In October 2025, ePropulsion launched its Smart Control Joystick with dual-inboard differential thrust and EP-CAN plug-and-play installation. Boatbuilders can reuse that control architecture on related hulls provided thatmarine propulsion enginesand steering functions pass vessel-level validation. The profiled countries span 1.6 percentage points, but their purchase routes separate into three operating groups. Urban access rules and passenger-ferry renewal place the Netherlands and Norway in the upper band. Finland's boatbuilding base and early propulsion integration place it in the middle. France and the USA differ by just 0.1 point despite distinct inland-waterway and public-fleet procurement models. Similar CAGRs therefore produce different entry conditions for propulsion companies and shipyards. The full report provides country-level CAGR analysis for North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, East Asia, South Asia and Pacific, and Middle East and Africa. Oceanvolt, Torqeedo, VETUS, MOLABO GmbH, ePropulsion, ABB, Wärtsilä and Danfoss Editron are notable companies serving the electric inboard motors market. Vessel class, electrical architecture and integration depth divide the competitive field more clearly than motor efficiency alone. Oceanvolt, Torqeedo, VETUS, MOLABO GmbH and ePropulsion sell dedicated electric propulsion for recreational or light-commercial boats. ABB, Wärtsilä and Danfoss Editron participate in larger marine electrification programs that specify motors with power conversion and controls. Vessel validation, installation support and local service coverage decide entry more than nameplate efficiency, which cannot establish route fit by itself. Scoring basis: High vessel breadth requires evidence in at least three vessel classes, compared with two for Medium and one for Low. High integration requires a motor plus controls and power or energy interfaces. Medium covers one added integration layer, and Low is limited to motor-only evidence. High installation breadth requires both new-build and repower evidence, whereas Medium covers one repeatable supported route and Low identifies a single project route. Geographic reach records documented operating and service regions for each company and does not infer coverage from corporate size. This bibliography is provided for reader reference and is not exhaustive. The full report contains the complete reference list and detailed citations. The electric inboard motors market is valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 4.1 billion by 2036. Growth follows access rules, funded fleet replacement programs and wider boatbuilder integration of electric propulsion systems. The electric inboard motors market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% between 2026 and 2036. Expansion is supported by fleet electrification, charging investment and repeatable new-build or repower specifications. The direct-drive inboard motors segment is expected to hold 28.0% within the motor configuration category in 2026, driven by familiar shaft-line architecture and fewer mechanical interfaces. Its advantage is strongest on repowers that retain the existing shaft line. The Netherlands is projected to grow at 8.9% CAGR, followed by Norway at 8.3% and Finland at 7.9% through 2036. Their growth routes differ between canal repowers, high-frequency passenger service and export-oriented boatbuilding. Key companies operating in the electric inboard motors market include Oceanvolt, Torqeedo, VETUS, MOLABO GmbH, ePropulsion, ABB, Wärtsilä, and Danfoss Editron. Their positions differ by vessel fit, control integration, installation support and regional service coverage.

USD 3.2 billion in 2026 and USD 7.0 billion by 2036 at an 8.0% CAGR. Demand for electric marine motors is projected to expand at 8.0% CAGR between 2026 and 2036, lifting valuation from USD 3.2 billion to USD 7.0 billion. Regulatory pressure is increasing attention on propulsion technologies that can lower vessel emissions and improve energy efficiency. FuelEU Maritime took effect on January 1, 2025 and changed compliance economics for ships calling at European Union ports. The European Commission requires ships above 5,000 gross tonnage to cut onboard energy greenhouse-gas intensity by 2% in 2025. Electric propulsion gains commercial weight whereelectric boatscan return to charging without sacrificing payload or sailing time. Norway already provides a clearer conversion path through an electric-ferry fleet operating at commercial scale. Statens vegvesen reported in February 2025 that nearly 90 electric ferries were sailing in Norway, compared with about 270 worldwide. That installed base gives local yards and operators more operating evidence for batteries, charging and marine propulsion systems. Other markets may show similar policy ambition yet convert orders more slowly until vessel schedules and shore power support the same operating confidence. "Electric marine motors should be evaluated against the vessel duty cycle before rated power or purchase price. Commercial value is earned through verified range, charging compatibility, thermal control and service access that keep the vessel available for its planned work." -Nikhil Kaitwade, Principal Consultant, Future Market Insights The electric marine motors market is segmented by motor type, power rating, vessel type, cooling, sales channel and region. Market taxonomy covers motor type, power rating, vessel type, cooling and sales channel. Motor types range from permanent magnet and AC induction motors to brushless DC, synchronous reluctance and integrated motor-drive units. Power spans below 10 kW to above 200 kW. Vessel, cooling and sales-channel categories cover the remaining operating and commercial distinctions. Permanent magnet motors suit hulls where machinery space and cooling capacity are limited. In May 2025 ePropulsion documented Bleu Seine, a 40-meter electric passenger vessel using three permanent magnet motors with redundant liquid-cooled power electronics. Motor selection is evaluated with the completemarine electronicsand energy architecture during vessel integration. Below 10 kW systems address tenders, dinghies, auxiliary sailboats and smaller fishing craft that can operate with modest stored energy. TEMO published a June 2025 range test for its 1.1 kW TEMO·1000 outboard, giving boaters and yards operating data from a low-power installation under sailing conditions. Recreational craft usually return to the same marina or berth, so battery sizing follows a known outing instead of continuous service. In October 2025 Flux Marine and Zodiac launched the all-electric Medline 6.8 with 115 HP continuous propulsion and 50 kW DC charging, placing both specifications in one boat package. Boat OEMs control battery placement, cabling, cooling and helm integration before the hull design is frozen, reducing late-stage interface changes. Evoy Vita documented this route in October 2025 after Maine Ocean Farms took delivery of a Fogg’s Boatworks electric aquaculture craft using twin Evoy propulsion units and overnight dock charging. Emissions-linked procurement increases electric propulsion specifications, charging availability limits route coverage, and integrated retrofit packages can convert suitable existing vessels. Carbon cost now enters fleet planning ahead of propulsion hardware selection. The European Commission states that shipping companies must surrender allowances for 70% of 2025 emissions in 2026, rising to 100% from 2027. The ETS does not mandate electric motors, but routes with workable charging can compare electricity use directly with rising compliance exposure. Shore-power coverage remains uneven even in ports pursuing cleaner vessel operations. In February 2026 the European Environment Agency reported shore-side electricity at 40% of core TEN-T ports, covering 461 berths, while comprehensive ports reached 8%. Routes without reliable berth power need larger batteries, hybrid operation or schedule changes ahead of motor procurement. Public funding can pull propulsion packages into existing ferry fleets with defined routes and charging sites. In April 2026 the USA Federal Transit Administration opened USD 98 million for the Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Pilot Program, including vessels and related infrastructure. That scope lets integrators price motors with controls and charging work under one project instead of separate engineering packages. The countries occupy a narrow 1.5-point band, but the ranking separates mature ferry electrification from project-led conversion. Norway and Finland sit above 8.0% because scheduled routes already expose propulsion decisions to charging and emissions requirements. The Netherlands and Australia form the middle, while USA growth remains tied to funded fleet replacement. Comparable CAGRs conceal different procurement clocks, infrastructure exposure and installation risks. The full report provides country-level CAGR analysis across North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, East Asia, South Asia and Pacific, and Middle East and Africa. Torqeedo, ePropulsion, Yamaha Motor, Evoy Vita, Molabo, Mercury Marine, TEMO, and Flux Marine are the notable companies serving this market. Competition divides between broad propulsion platforms, high-output specialists and outboard-focused manufacturers. Entry barriers include validation records and battery management systems that must work with propulsion controls and service procedures. Premium leisure orders reward quieter propulsion, but charging coverage and technical support still decide whether a vessel program can scale. Scoring basis: High propulsion breadth spans low-power through high-output or multiple propulsion forms. Medium covers several documented power classes and Low covers a narrow band.
