@BluePorts
Services for Blue Ports: discharge of contaminated water in ports, not at sea.
The @BluePorts Project aims to mobilize the maritime community to design attractive discharge services for ballast water and other discharges. The aim is to motivate shipowners to stop discharges at sea using the Atlantic Area as a support platform to test, demonstrate, communicate via pilot cases and workshops. The consortium of partner entities is transnational and triple helix, that is, it includes public and private entities, and scientific institutions, such as the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the Port Authority of Puerto de la Luz, where some pilot tests will be carried out.
