European Territorial Cooperation
ICT/Digitalisation
Improving the last MILE accessibility of Adriatic PORTs
Period: 01/02/2024 – 31/07/2026
Total Budget: € 2.575.574,60
Countries: Italy and Croatia
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
“MILEPORT” is a European cross-border cooperation project between Italy and Croatia in which the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority (ADSPMAS) – Ports of Venice and Chioggia, participates as a partner, with the aim of improving the accessibility of the last mile of the Adriatic ports. This accessibility affects their integration into their cities and hinterlands, causing inefficiency of multimodal transport, weaker economic growth, increased transport-related air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve the project objective, medium and long-term digital planning tools will be developed, such as: vehicle booking systems/transport flow optimization and port gate optimization, testing them with local pilot actions.
EXPECTED RESULTS
As part of the project, actions planned for ADSPMAS are focused on the monitoring of heavy traffic and the optimization of port gates, aimed in particular at the creation of a traffic monitoring station at the port of Venice, connected to a broader system of detection (i.e. digitalized systems of other management bodies), in order to implement the control of road traffic accessing the port and carry out the monitoring over the entire last mile until the motorway.
In the project, coordinated by the port of Trieste, the ports of Ravenna, Ancona and Bari are involved on the Italian side, in addition to the port of Venice. On the Croatian side, the ports of Rijeka, Zadar and Ploce are represented.

“Improving the Cyber REsilience and Security of Adriatic PORTs”.
Period: 01/03/2024 – 30/06/2026
Total budget: € 2,409,862.00
Countries involved: Italy and Croatia
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
“CRESPORT” is a European project of cross-border cooperation Italy-Croatia in which the North Adriatic Sea Port System Authority (ADSPMAS), ports of Venice and Chioggia, participates as a partner, with the objective of improving the port system’s adherence to the NIS2 directive on cyber security. In order to achieve this objective, a comparison of international best practices in the field of cyber security and dedicated training, which will also involve private operators, in the field of cyber security will be developed, then testing the resilience of the systems with local pilot actions.
EXPECTED RESULTS
CRESPORT aims to address the challenge of providing ports in the area with a more secure and resilient IT infrastructure. Considering ports as critical and vulnerable infrastructures, CRESPORT intends to address this common problem through cooperation and joint actions, which are essential to strengthen territorial cohesion, by adopting a common strategy to ensure compliance with the main international cybersecurity standards (e.g. EU directives, national legislation, IMO recommendations).
In the project, coordinated by the port of Ravenna (Adsp MACS), the ports of Trieste and Ancona are involved on the Italian side. On the Croatian side, instead, the ports of Rijeka, Ploce and Dubrovnik are represented.

Promoting sustainable solutions for maritime cultural tourism
Period: 01/02/2024 – 31/07/2026
Total Budget: € 2.662.685,40
Countries: Italiy and Croatia
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
“ADRIJOROUTES” is a European cross-border cooperation project between Italy and Croatia in which the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority (ADSPMAS) – Ports of Venice and Chioggia, participates as a partner,
with the aim of promoting sustainability, social inclusiveness and the digitalisation of the tourism sector in the Adriatic area, promoting sustainable tourist experiences based on the cultural heritage of the ports, involving public and private cultural and tourism actors for this purpose. ADRIJOROUTES addresses the need to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of mass tourist flows and to reduce the overwhelming dependence of the main Adriatic tourist destinations on mass coastal tourism, which put the social and economic resilience of local communities at risk. The promotion of sustainable tourist experiences based on the cultural heritage of the area will focus on the valorisation of the port’s cultural heritage as an alternative and sustainable tourist experience, creating a single Adriatic cluster.
EXPECTED RESULTS
As part of the project, actions planned for ADSPMAS are focused on the promotion and implementation of the Virtual Museum of the Ports of Venice and Chioggia, in order to promote quality tourist experiences, creating alternative and more sustainable tourist routes.
In the project, coordinated by the port of Ancona, the ports of Trieste and Ravenna are involved on the Italian side, in addition to the port of Venice. On the Croatian side, the ports of Zadar and Dubrovnik and the development agencies KIP (Intermodal Transport Cluster) and Public institution RERA SD – Split-Dalmatia County are represented.
