2. 2 GENOA HARBOR context

3. 3 GENOA HARBOR preliminary survey

4. 4 Main governance tools in force at local level: Port master plan (Genoa Port Autority): 2000 - currently under revision The development of "Genoa Port towards 2020", focuses on five main themes: Expanding the harbor entrance in order to host last generation ships (maneuvering ray of 300 meters). Increase the linear length of the piers in TEUs Terminal, with a capacity of 12 meters deep. Expanding Terminal (in terms of TEUs spaces); Improving the infrastructural interconnection (new railway line over the Apennines) Overcoming and mitigate possible/future risk situations within the relationship City-Port Regional plan for air quality protection of Liguria Region: 2006

5. 5 APICE Project Thanks to APICE the city of Genoa has now available a numerical model, assessed versus a 1-year monitoring campaign, for air quality analysis and prediction PM2.5 - Summer periodPM2.5 - Winter period 21  g/m 3 10  g/m 3 13  g/m 3 4  g/m 3

9. 9 Communication activities Genoa Port Center: a natural connection point between the port and the city

10. 10 Communication activities A section of the Genoa Port Center is devoted to the “Green Port Policy”: - innovative solutions to reduce emissions of pollutants, emission of climate-altering gases, noise pollution. - exploitation of renewable energy (in agreement with the Port Authority Environmental Energy Plan).
