MedCruise , together with cruise line representatives, met in Brussels to discuss the burdens that ports will have to bear to maintain their infrastructure and promote environmentally friendly maritime activities and sustainable transport.
The meeting was organized by the European Commission and the Director General for Mobility and Transport to present the progress of a European study that advises on the different options applied to differentiate the burdens that ports will have to bear to maintain their infrastructure in accordance with environmental and sustainability criteria.
