The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has approved a request from the Port System Authority of the Eastern Sicilian Sea for 15 million euros in funding, aimed at implementing cold ironing for boats. This initiative will enable vessels to connect to shore power while docked, significantly reducing emissions and improving air quality in the port area. “We are very pleased with this news,” says Francesco, emphasizing the project's importance for both environmental sustainability and the modernization of port operations. This funding represents a significant step towards creating a cleaner and more efficient maritime environment.
