Project description
PSAMIDES links two critical blue growth sectors: Ports and coastal & maritime tourism, which combined represent the 51% of GVA, 69% of jobs of profits of the total EU blue economy, stronglyconcentrated in MED area.
An important share oh MED tourism is channelled through Ports and concentrated in coastal areas. Yet, a particularity of the MED area is constellation of hundreds of Small and Medium sized Ports (SMP) that pay a fundamental role in articulating coastal & maritime tourism, connecting the hinterland anh the communities. SMP and linked touristic industries are the key factor of competitiveness in the MED area.
PSAMIDES objective is to optimize SMP operation and marine management by implementing innovative tools to manage tourism flows, better controlling costs, providing more services to costomers and stimulating Ports ecoinnovation, reducing environmental negarive externalities derived from tourist activity.

Is it possible to improve and enhance maritime transport and, at the same time, contribute to reduce emissions in the field of mobility? The pathway towards a more sustainable ferry transportation can now benefit from a new and effective routing tool. This is thanks to the GUTTA project.
