WATERBRIDGING – Interreg VI-B IPA Adriatic Ionian Project

The WATERBRIDGING project, implemented under the Interreg VI-B IPA Adriatic Ionian Programme, aims to strengthen maritime routes as an efficient and smart alternative to overloaded land transport.

The project seeks to enhance the role of waterways as a “bridge” for connections both within the macro-regional territories and beyond.

It addresses common challenges such as logistics chain disruptions and limited implementation of environmental approaches.

Expected results include the co-design of pilot actions focused on alternative fuels, onshore power supply systems (OPS), and digital services.

The project involves 8 partners from 6 countries: Central Adriatic Ports Authority, Igoumenitsa Port Authority, CERTH, Intermodal Transport Cluster, Port of Split, University Skopje, Science Park Novi Sad and Port of Bar.

The consortium establishes the Adriatic-Ionian MOS and IWW Network and adopts a transnational strategy for long-term sustainable development.

The project runs from 01.09.2024 to 31.08.2027 and is co-funded at 85% by the European Union through IPA ADRION.
