MAGPIE

The European Horizon 2020-funded MAGPIE project is focused on developing technological and non-technological solutions to decarbonise transportation in and around ports. MAGPIE stands for sMArt Green Ports as Integrated Efficient multimodal hubs and its principal aim is to shape the green ports of the future. Greening transport is one of the key objectives of the European Green Deal. Ports have a major role in increasing the uptake of green technologies, energy carriers, and logistics concepts in maritime transport, port operations and hinterland transport (road, rail, barge, and pipeline) to reduce GHG emissions. Port of Rotterdam is the lighthouse port of the project and is joined by the fellow ports of HAROPA Port, Port of Sines, and Deltaport as well as various industry and academic partners. The MAGPIE project aims to develop a Masterplan for European Green Ports, a roadmap, and a handbook to accelerate the development of sustainable maritime and inland European ports.
