| description | Ports are characterized by several complex operations.
Accordingly, the analysis of noise results is complicated
due to the presence in the same area of diverse
sound from ships, trade and also from industrial and shipyards
activities aswell as auxiliary services producing negative
effects on natural ecosystem and the urban population.
The ENPI CBC MED project Managing the Environmental
Sustainability of Ports for a durable development
(MESP) addressed the pollution reduction from port activities
through the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach
in air, noise andwater sectors, encompassing technological,
regulatory and administrative solutions to ensure
natural and urban sustainability and high level of life
quality in surrounding territories. To prevent a heterogeneous
development, the “status quo” of ports in Northern
and Southern Shores of the Mediterranean Sea was analyzed
and a guideline on methodologies, good practices
and measurement assessment, adaptable and transferable
in different port contexts was elaborated. To assess the
procedures, validation tests have been carried out to different
real cases. In noise sector pilot projects in the ports
of Patras, Greece, and Tripoli, Lebanon, have been implemented.
Due to the dissimilar scenarios, in terms of orography,
facilities and activities, different noise mitigation actions
and interventions were consequently accomplished. |
