Road Maps and Manuals for Decarbonising Port Operations

The Blue Supply Chains project, lead by Scandria Alliance member Port of Hamburg Marketing, ends in Dezember 2025 and just published road maps and manuals to decarbonise port operations.

Building Greener Transport Chains Through Stakeholder Cooperation (Rail Ferry example Rostock – Trelleborg)

A comprehensive strategic and technical roadmap for maintaining and modernising the Rostock–Trelleborg rail ferry link. More than a simple service review, it is a detailed case study of how cross-border collaboration, infrastructure investment, market engagement, and green innovation can come together to preserve a critical transport corridor in Europe.

The Blue Supply Chains project was actively featured during the Baltic Ports for Climate Conference 2025, 19. – 20. November 2025.

This international conference brought together port stakeholders and sustainability experts to discuss actionable strategies for climate-resilient port operations.

The Blue Supply Chains project supports port authorities and port operators to decarbonise port operations by advancing electrification, providing alternative fuels strategies and setting up green transport chains. Project partners highlighted their results during a lively and interactive panel discussion.
