DECOMPRES

The project addresses construction works for the installation of four Shore-Side Electricity (SSE) berthing positions in the port of Rafina and studies for future SSE implementation in the ports of Corfu, Kavala and Lavrion. The berthing positions in the port of Rafina will serve passenger and freight vessels, while the studies for the ports of Corfu, Kavala and Lavrion cover passenger, freight and cruise vessel positions. All four ports are located on the TEN-T Comprehensive Network.

The objective of the project is the transformation of the four ports into greener, technologically advanced ports. It aims to achieve maritime emission-free operations and enhance ports’ performance through the upgrading and optimisation of ports’ energy networks and quality of their services, while ensuring their environmental viability. It will increase the ports’ energy efficiency contributing to the decarbonization of the transport systems in line with the EU Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy.

The project “DECOMPRES” represents the continuation of the project “EALING” (2019-EU-TM-0234-S), also co-funded from the Connecting Europe Facility, which delivered the necessary technical studies, tender documents, and environmental and financial studies required for the construction works in the Port of Rafina.
