SAFARI Project: questions for Caya HEIN – Project Leader – Green transition & Agenda 2030…

The European SAFARI (Safe, Climate Resilient Infrastructure) project aims to ensure the resilience of port infrastructure by maintaining the continuity of maritime trade, safeguarding the flow of goods and services even under adverse circumstances. European ports are exposed to multiple risks and vulnerabilities that can impact their operations, functionality, and efficiency during various climate-induced weather phenomena. The focus of the project is on developing a digital platform for emergency management of infrastructures so that they can maintain 80% port capacity during periods of disruption. Other goals include optimizing the allocation of multi-modal transport assets and management to minimize downtime during extreme weather events; implementing resilience measures; ensuring the safety of personnel, vessels and biodiversity; and building a governance model and guidelines to address climate risks and hazards for port infrastructure. This project is financed by Horizon 2020, a European Commission program. It runs from May 2024 to October 2027.
