🇪🇺 In April, the study visits began for the EU-funded project "Institutional Support to the State Service for Maritime, Inland Waterway Transport and Shipping of Ukraine in the Implementation of the EU Acquis, Norms and Standards on Maritime Safety", an initiative aimed at supporting Ukraine in aligning its national regulations with European and international standards on maritime safety, inland waterway transport and commercial shipping ⚓️

🇮🇹🇺🇦 hashtag serves as lead partner, with the project promoted by the Corpo delle Capitanerie di porto - Guardia Costiera. Following the first study visit in Genoa, the Ukrainian delegation, accompanied by institutional and operational representatives, travelled to Rome and Salerno, before arriving in Messina, where it was received by Mayor Federico Basile, alongside C.F. Daniele Esibini of the Coast Guard's Specialised Training Centre (VTMIS Messina) and C.V. Massimo Mosconi, Project Leader of the European initiative.

🤝🏼 Training activities have engaged the Genoa and Messina training centres through specialist online courses, seminars and study visits, with the goal of transferring expertise, operational procedures and best practices in line with EU legislation. The programme will conclude in July in Genoa, where the project's closing event will bring this intensive knowledge-sharing journey to a close.

On May 27 and 28, the AirLabò Project Committee met in at the headquarters of Confindustria Centro Nord Sardegna 🤝🏼

This cross-border initiative is dedicated to improving air quality in port cities through advanced scientific tools, widespread monitoring networks, and participatory processes with local stakeholders.

All the project's operational partners attended the meeting: the Fondazione Accademia Italiana della Marina Mercantile, Confindustria Centro-Nord Sardegna, AtmoSud, Qualitair Corse, Techne Consulting, Arpal and Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Settentrionale 🌀

The joint presence of the partners allowed for a broad and concrete discussion on the progress of the activities and to jointly plan the next steps, with a specific focus on strengthening Living Labs, spaces for dialogue between ports, businesses, scientific institutions, and citizens.

🇮🇹🇫🇷 The collaboration between the Italian and French partners confirms the shared desire to build a shared approach to air quality management, capable of combining technological innovation, environmental sustainability, and economic development.
