Basic InformationEU Interreg Programme

• GCP is a project in the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme 2014‐2020 (www.interregbaltic.eu)

• GCP elaborates a multidimensional strategic approach for a sustainable and qualitative future development for cruise shipping in port areas.

• GCP encourages investments and procedures in environmentally friendly cruise port infra and superstructure in the Baltic Sea Region

• GCP was implemented from March 2016 to February 2019.

• GREEN CRUISE PORT embraces 20 partners, covering geographically all BSR countries and The Netherlands.

• Budget: 2.8 Mio € (ERDF/NO budget 2.1 Mio € plus 0.7 Mio € own contribution).

Cruise industry in the Baltic Sea Region faces two main challenges

PROJECTIONS FOR SHIPPING’S CO2 EMISSIONS TO 2035

cruise industry has to respond to environmental challenges and try to minimize negative externalities

Source: ITF (2018): Decarbonising Maritime Transport

DEVELOPMENT OF CRUISE PASSENGER VISITS IN THE BSR

cruise industry has to create the structural conditions to accommodate the expected industry growth

Main Goals of Action Plan

Merge the knowledge generated within the GCP project and in other related projects worldwide to provide information on how to

meet growing sustainability requirements

accommodate the projected industry growth

strengthen economic effects

Relevant Environmental Rules For Ships And Ports 

Emission type Regulations considered

Air Emission Rules and Requirements

For ships: MARPOL Annex VI, Directive 2012/33/EU of the European Parliament For road and non-road vehicles: EURO standards

Proposal of measures on how to improve level of sustainability 

Measures suggested are designed to reduce emissions and waste in cruise ports that arise from

• Cruise ships at berth 

• Pier & cargo handling equipment 

• Terminal buildings 

• Road (external) traffic 

EMISSION SOURCES OF A TYPICAL CRUISE TERMINAL

Land-side emissions & waste

Water-side emissions & waste
