In a bid to enhance sustainability and reduce environmental hazards associated with port operations, the PortSHAZ project embarked on an ambitious journey that began in 2022 and culminated recently. This initiative, realized within the framework of the Interreg South Baltic Programme, brought together a diverse partnership with the shared goal of transforming port operations for the better. 
The PortSHAZ project set sail in 2023 under the Interreg South Baltic Programme 2021-2027 auspices. This project resulted from a collaborative partnership composed of representatives from five countries: Sweden, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and Denmark. These countries united with the common purpose of addressing environmental challenges associated with port activities and finding innovative solutions.
The PortSHAZ project had a multifaceted mission:
- Environmental Impact Mitigation: The project aimed to reduce the environmental impact of port operations, particularly in cargo handling and preventing cargo leakage.
- Technical Solutions Development: It focused on creating practical and efficient technical solutions to minimize cargo leakage and improve overall port operations.
- Knowledge Sharing: One of the project’s key tasks was disseminating up-to-date knowledge and best practices in environmental risk management within port operations.
- Collaboration and Networking: The project sought to foster collaboration among ports, stakeholders, and experts, creating a network for sharing experiences and expertise.
The PortSHAZ project has concluded successfully, achieving milestones along the way. This cross-border collaboration has enhanced environmental protection in the South Baltic Sea Region, strengthened international ties, and ushered in a new era of sustainable port operations.
