Overview
This project consists in the European Commission providing EUR 10 M to strengthen the Global Network of Maritime Technology Cooperation Centres (in 4 regions Latin America, Caribbean, Africa and Pacific). This is the second phase of this project implemented by International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
The GMN Phase II project follows the successful Phase I, which established the Maritime Technology Cooperation Centres (MTCCs), in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Pacific.
During Phase I, resources were focused on building the human and institutional capacities in maritime administrations and port authorities and delivering small-scale pilot demonstration projects. The €10 million, four-year Phase II project will focus on facilitating the introduction of portside energy efficiency measures and technologies and the retrofitting of domestic vessels.
