The Project

The Port of Heraklion realizes its role not only as one of the five Greek Ports of the Core TEN-T, but also as a pioneer Port organization that contributes to the National and EU growth through compliance with Institutional and Environmental Regulations.
Port’s Administration sets the strategic goals and priorities bearing in mind both the economic, social and environmental surplus by redefining the Port’s infrastructure as environmentally friendly, economically viable and socially useful, ending to a compliant Port for all ship types, maintaining zero carbon facilities.
Further to the participation of the Port of Heraklion to the LNG bunkering station development (Project Poseidon MED II – CEF Project), the port aims at becoming the first Greek Port that will apply fully integrated electrification services for any ship type approaching alongside.
ELECTRIPORT provides all the detailed studies that are needed for “cold ironing” to become eligible for funding timely and effectively. Apart from the Technical options, studies cover the economic and financial aspects, delivering the financial dimensions in a complete input – output CBA approach.
The expected outcomes contribute to the development of know-how, implementation of environmental policies, reduction of CO2 emissions in the port and consequently in the neighboring Port–City of Heraklion.
The partnership covers all aspects of ELECTRIPORT, reflecting capacity and know-how regarding the scientific, technical and managerial aspects of the project.
ELECTRIPORT guarantees exploitation and dissemination on a local, regional, national and EU levels through globally established partnerships and established Project multipliers.
