The GreenMED project is taking an important step toward reshaping the future of maritime transport in the Mediterranean by promoting decarbonisation pathways. As the sector faces growing environmental challenges and ambitious decarbonisation targets, GreenMED brings together leading partners from Greece, Cyprus, Spain, and Egypt to support a coordinated, science-based transition.
The project was recently featured in an article published by Naftemporiki, one of Greece’s leading economic and maritime news outlets. This coverage highlights GreenMED’s growing impact and reinforces the importance of accelerating sustainable transformation across the Mediterranean shipping sector.
At the core of the project is the development of the Mediterranean Sustainable Shipping Observatory (MSSO)—a new regional platform delivering data and insights about the fleet energy consumption and demand, analysing fuel-supply chains, and evaluating the readiness of Mediterranean ports and shipping operators for adopting alternative, low-carbon fuels. By combining data-driven insights with policy analysis, MSSO aims to guide decision-makers toward practical and effective decarbonisation strategies.
GreenMED also contributes to building a more resilient and competitive blue economy. Through the integration of advanced modelling tools, economic and energy forecasts, and collaborative cross-border action, the project provides the foundations for a more sustainable maritime ecosystem—one that supports both environmental protection and economic growth.
Even beyond its conclusion this December, GreenMED will continue engaging with stakeholders across the wider region, strengthening partnerships and helping accelerate the shift toward a greener, more innovative Mediterranean shipping sector.
