24 European ports to receive EU funding for green projects

24 European ports to receive EU funding for green projects

Ports Europe — 2025-11-24

Maritime and Ports

A total of 24 European ports will receive funds to deploy onshore power supply (OPS, cold ironing) to “green” their port operations and invest in ammonia and methanol bunkering infrastructure. This is part of European Commission (EC) funding of over 600 million euros to 70 projects advancing Europe’s transport decarbonisation and accelerating the energy transition.

These measures will help the port and maritime sector transition to renewable and low-carbon fuels, which is a priority supported by the recent Sustainable Transport Investment Plan. The projects will receive the funding from the Connecting Europe Facility to strengthen the competitiveness of EU industries by installing the infrastructure needed for recharging or refuelling the different transport modes.

Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) is a key driver of the EU’s efforts to expand alternative fuel supply infrastructure across its trans-European transport network. It complements the ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime regulations, which aim to decarbonise the aviation and maritime sectors, according to the EC Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport.

Some of the key European ports receiving funding for green projects include:

  • Port of Gent (Belgium) – electrification of port operations
  • Port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) – onshore power supply for cruise terminals
  • Port of Aarhus (Denmark) – expansion of shore-side electricity for container ships
  • Port of Aalborg (Denmark) – hybrid onshore power system
  • Port of Tallinn (Estonia) – onshore power supply for cruise and Ro-Pax vessels
  • Hutchison Ports BEST Terminal in Barcelona (Spain) – electrification of operations
  • Port of Hamina Kotka (Finland) – onshore power supply
  • Port of Bordeaux (France) – onshore power supply
  • Haropa Port (France) – onshore power supply
  • Saint-Malo Harbour (France) – onshore power supply for Ro-Pax vessels
