Maritime ports – studies

Summary

The objective is to develop infrastructure projects in maritime ports on the Comprehensive Network of the TEN-T.

Detailed Call Description

Studies in comprehensive maritime ports related to:

  • port access aiming at providing safe maritime access in the form of breakwaters, access channels, fairways, locks and navigational aids;
  • basic port infrastructure, with a priority on:
    • development of zero or low-emission multimodal solutions, or;
    • development of ports´ capacities and facilities in relation with offshore wind farms, or;
    • improving connectivity of remote, insular or outermost regions (as defined in Article 349 TFEU) or of Member States with no land border with another Member State;
  • shore-side electricity supply;
  • port reception facilities for oil and other waste (including residues from exhaust gas cleaning systems) to meet environmental requirements;
  • ensuring year-round navigability by means of capital dredging and ice-breaking facilities;
  • providing or improving road/rail access and connections within maritime ports.

Support will not be given to studies related to infrastructure dedicated for cruise ships, except as regards shore-side electricity supply.

Hinterland connections to the maritime ports are covered by the respective transport mode priorities but may be part of a single Action.
The basic infrastructure for development of zero or low-emission multimodal solutions could include basic infrastructure for improving the interconnection between the maritime transport and inland waterways.
