OPTIMED launch
The OPTIMED (Rationalising Mediterranean Sea Ways: from Southern-Eastern to Northern-Western) project has been initiated in Cagliari, Italy.
Carried out under the Cross-Border Cooperation in the Mediterranean (CCMED) programme of the Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) of the European Union, the OPTIMED project aims to strengthen the connection between the ports in the Mediterranean through the creation of a new form of cooperation between countries in the Latin arc of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the countries of the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Specifically the project aims to optimise the maritime trade network between the northern shores of the High Tyrrhenian arc and the southern-eastern shores of the Mediterranean sea, by creating an innovative virtual logistics platform structured around ports strengthened as Ro-Ro hubs.
In May an official launch of the project will take place in Cagliari. For further information contact the Escola Europea de Short Sea Shipping at: info@2e3s.eu.
