2. SMART PORT Project 1 Graphic Map of the SMART PORT key factors: defining the real challenge 3 Map of Competitive Advantages and Disadvantages linked to the SP concept 4 Strategic Action Plan towards the SP concept, aimed at exploiting the existing potential and at the same time, contributing to the decision-making process 2 Assessment on the current status of MED Ports on the bases of the SMART PORT trends “knowing where we are now it is essential to determine where we want to be”

3. SMART PORT Mid Term Results In total 23 Criteria(and 68 KPIs) weredefinedfortheassessment, 8 (16 KPIs) of themfocussedontheenergy performance of theselectedports: Total consumption of energy Energyconsumptionbycontainers Energyconsumptionbyinternalfleets Energyconsumptionbyoffices Energyconsumptionbylighting Energyconsumptionbyterminalsequipmentformovement of containers Use of renewables Energy Management • Valencia and Barcelona (Spain) • Algeciras Bay (Spain) • Piraeus (Greece) • Genoa and GioiaTauro(Italy) • Maarsaxlokk (Malta) • Genoa (Italy) • Barcelona (Spain) • La Spezia (Italy) • Marseille (France) • In addition 2 non-med ports were analysed due to their relevant influence in the Mediterrean area: Sines(Portugal) and Tanger Med (Morocco). Use of renewables KPIs 1. % heating fuels from renewable resources managed by the port authority 2.  % heating fuels from renewable resources managed by terminal operators 3.  % energy from renewable resources managed by port authority 4.  % energy from renewable resources managed by terminal operators.

4. SMART PORT Mid Term Results • Great difficulty in assessing the current energy performance in seaports mainly because: • Port Authorities lack of a clear, exhaustive and updatedoverview of SP KPIs (with the exception of the operational KPIs). • Available data are often categorized according to different protocols, units of measure and different time-scales and frequencies. • In general terms, there is neither an exhaustive control about the energy consumption level in ports, nor about the costs that this consumption represents. • Port Authoritiesdo not know about the energy performanceof the terminal operators in their facilities thus their integration and coordination is not usual. • The performance of the port infrastructure and services in terms of energy consumption is keyfor the its competitiveness and sustainability. • The challenge of energy efficiency has been taken up by port authorities, as many of them are increasingly concerned with their emission profiles, and regulation in port areas have become more restrictive. • Energy consumption is highly important in port operations. Bearing in mind the increase of energy costs, port authorities and terminals are needed of innovative solutions to reduce their fuel bills.

5. SMART PORT Mid Term Results • But despite its potential this sector is facing several challenges which need to be faced: • Technology costs are high and access to finance is difficult; • There are substantial infrastructure barriers, such as grid connection issues or access to adequate port facilities and specialized vessels; • There are administrative barriers such as complex licensing and consenting procedures, which can delay projects and raise costs; • There are environmental issues to be faced, including the need for more research and better information on environmental impacts.

6. SMART PORT Recommendations • Promotingthecoordination and communicationamongthedifferentactors and operatorswithintheportarea. • Better and improvedaccess to consumption and energy performance data and information(both, the Port and itsoperators). • Definition of energyefficiency and performance indicators. • Incentivestowardstheadoption of energymanagementstandards (ISO 50000). • Embracingthesmartgridconcept (EFFICIENCY & SUSTAINABILITY): promotingportsintegration in the Smart Grid (generation and consumption). • Encouraging ports as potential energy suppliers, allowing them to sell its energy surplus in the grid (price policy regulation required). • Promoting the use of green vehicles inside the port area. • Development of R&D and technology projects (RIS3, ESI, H2020…) • Promoting (and supporting) the upgrading of ports facilities in order to facilitate the production, manufacturing and distribution of technology components and devices within the port area (thus encouraging the development and establishment of these companies in the port area). ESIF H2020 Others long term short/mid term RIS3 • Political incentives towards the use of renewable energies. • Developing clusters and poles to push forward innovation and avoid fragmentation. • Improving access to risk capital or loans for startup SMEs; and improving intellectual property management. • Increasing investments in demonstration projects (commercial feasibility); and large public-private partnership initiatives to gather the necessary critical mass. • Promoting large PPP initiatives to gather the necessary critical mass • Addressing legal and administrative hurdles.
