Nine more ports "Pers" certified


At its annual conference held in Bremen this year, the European Sea Ports Organisation (Espo) congratulated a large number of ports for being certified according to the "Ecoports" environmental management standard (Pers).

 

The recipients of Pers certification are: Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque (France), Volos Port Authority (Greece), Port of Den Helder (the Netherlands), Autoridad Portuaria de Castellón (Spain), Autoridad Portuaria de Melilla (Spain), Santander Port Authority (Spain), Peterhead Port Authority (UK), Shoreham Port Authority (UK) and Asyaport Liman (Turkey).

 

With its "self-diagnosis method", which is renewed every two to three years, Ecoports is an environmental management tool for the port sector. It allows a port to identify and reflect on environmental risks, providing a snapshot of the environmental management efforts in the port.

 

The last five years have seen important increases in its recognition and membership, with 103 ports from 24 countries currently counting themselves as part of the Ecoports Network, and 31 ports holding Pers certification. (lh)
