Initiated by DAPhNE and successfully continued on a yearly basis by DIONYSUS, the Danube Ports Days have become a must-attend event on the agenda of the IWT community in the Danube Region and well beyond, providing a transnational platform to discuss, by bringing together decision-makers, experts and the IWT sector, key aspects related to port development issues. This year’s edition is organised in cooperation with the MultiRELOAD and SYNERGETICS projects and is focusing on the pilot project study on Enabling Sustainable Management and Development of inland ports which was contracted by DG MOVE. The general objectives of this study are to identify and evaluate the factors affecting the sustainable development of inland ports, as well as to propose solutions for the implementation of green objectives for inland ports paired with their economic development.

The hybrid workshop serves in creating an environment where EU stakeholders in business, national administrations, port authorities, social partners and sector organisations can discover new tools and solutions for the implementation of green objectives, share experiences and good practices, address common challenges in their transition, and provide relevant updates. It provides a platform of cooperation between public and private entities with a dedicated interest and involvement in port development and terminal logistics and hence stimulates the know-how sharing and feedback collection.

AGENDA

The MultiRELOAD and SYNERGETICS projects receive funding under the Horizon Europe Programme. 

MultiRELOAD is structured along three Innovation Areas with a total set of 7 demonstrators, that provide answers to the specific challenges of ports & terminals in their transition to effective and efficient multimodal freight transport operations. We would like to keep you updated on the progress of the demonstrators. We start with the A1, which aims to achieve a flexible, high-volume, fully automated multimodal transition from road to rail.

September marks the start of MultiRELOAD, a transnational innovation project bringing European inland ports into the spotlight.

Under the lead of Duisport, the world’s largest and most advanced tri-modal inland hub terminal, 21 other project partners from Western, Central and Eastern Europe have met at the premises of Duisburg Port on the 7^th and 8^th of September to kick-start the ambitious project MultiRELOAD focusing on facilitating port solutions for efficient, effective and sustainable multimodality.
