Eco laurels for Port of Dunkirk
The French port of Dunkirk has again gained Pers (port environmental review system) certification. The award was set up by the Eco Ports network and is regularly issued by Espo (European sea ports organisation).
This environmental management certification, specific to the port sector, attests to correct compliance with current rules and standards and rewards involvement in projects and initiatives for better environmental performance in ports.
he new certification praised in particular the exemplary nature of the redevelopment of brownfield sites, the originality of the manual of environmental recommendations for site set-up by new industrialists as well as the involvement of Dunkerque-Port in the PaQte* programme, which has been in place since 2018 to include special urban quarters in the economic development of the port.
