Ports : European funds for infrastructure and equipment in Port of Koper
We have efficiently drawn 5.7 million euros from currently active projects and we expect to obtain another 6.8 million euros
In the Port of Koper, we have successfully participated in many projects co-financed by the European Union. By the end of 2020, we have efficiently drawn 5.7 million euros from currently active projects and we expect to obtain another 6.8 million euros
.We recently applied for two major projects in consortia with other project partners. These projects include the CEF Telecom tender on the topic of cyber-security and the Horizon 2020 Green Deal tender where we submitted an extensive project for the development and establishment of a digital twin electricity network in the port and feasibility studies on the use of hydrogen in port operations. We are currently preparing an application for the CEF Transport tender for co-financing project documentation for the development of the northern part of Pier I and landfill (cassettes) on Pier II and the southern shore of Pier II.
