Publications: The Clean Ship: Opportunities for innovation, policy and business

The Clean Ship is an integrated approach to sustainable shipping. Integrated has a double meaning. First of all, it means tackling all social and environmental costs from 'cradle to grave'. Secondly, it means that a participatory process is needed to bring together various stakeholders who have a role to play in making this vision a reality. This 'sketchbook' gives the reader an idea of what the Clean Ship approach is all about.

Publications: Motorways of the Sea - NGO Response to the Consultation Document

Shifting freight from European roads to the sea could be a cure against congestion and the growing environmental impact of trans-European transports. But safety risks, operational pollution from ships and uncoordinated port investments endanger the potential benefits of short sea shipping. Sea Motorways pose the dual-risk of increasing negative impacts and concentrating them on these new routes.

In this response to the EU Consultation on Motorways of the Sea: Implementation through Article 12a TEN-T, European environmental NGOS joined in demanding that these new transport corridors be linked to environmental criteria.
