Venice
The Venice Port Authority has a number of actions in place to safeguard the environment of the city of Venice. Safeguarding Venice is always at the centre of any growth and development plans in the Port of Venice.
Ferry in Giudecca Canal
Assessment of the wave motion
Over recent years, the Port Authority has performed several studies on the impact of shipping on the wave motion.
The aim is to understand the distribution in time and space of the wake generated by ships up to the embankments, by determining the amplitude of the wave and the direction it propagates.
Noise – noise characterisation of port activities
This was the first study to be conducted in Italy on the sound power level of large ships.The assessment shows that no impact is caused by ships transiting in the Giudecca Channel.
