The PORTS project intends to study the impact of new routes and MoS between Apulian, Montenegrin and Albanian coasts, particularly between the ports of Taranto, Kotor and Durres, and to analyse their socioeconomic impact. It also aims to increase cross-boarder dialogue and ultimately accessibility, by:
creating a large international network including all relevant stakeholders in the field;
creating an international research laboratory (PORTS LAB) to study new forms of integrated transport RO/PAX and new cruise lines between the ports of Taranto, Kotor, Bar, and Durres and to analyze data with a mathematical provisional transport model;
organizing international round tables in order to discuss main findings of the research
sharing good practices and training professional within the industry.
Main target of the actions are public authorities managing transport of passengers and freight, and economic operators along the spine of the eastern Balkans.
