MedCruise to share sustainability survey results at Seatrade Cruise Global

Valeria Mangiarotti, MedCruise’s director of technical environmental solutions and marketing manager for Sardinian ports, and Jamil Ouazzani, the association’s director of technical environmental solutions and director of marketing & strategic intelligence at Tangier port, led the survey.   

Seatrade Cruise Global takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from April 8-11. Mangiarotti and Ouazzani will share the results on April 9 at 1 pm EST at MedCruise booth #2201. 

Scope of the survey

The project was developed through a 25-question survey in which 51 Mediterranean ports took part. To ensure a balanced representation, 41% of these ports were from the Central Med, 33% form the West Med and 26% from the East Med.

The aim of the survey was to provide an overview of Mediterranean ports’ sustainability, focusing on: development of environmental monitoring programs, shore power projects, port footprint evaluation, CSR and socio-economic impacts, availability of alternative fuels.

Plus, a presentation on port cities

On April 10, MedCruise will launch the 'Cruise Port City Compass - Global Cases Inspiring Sustainable Connections & Communities' publication, compiled jointly by AIVP – the worldwide network of port cities – and MedCruise.  

The presentation will be given by Noemi Frascella, responsible for international relations & communication/strategic planning & development at the Port of Taranto and MedCruise’s director of port & city relationships, along with José Sánchez, director of Agenda 2030 by AIVP and projects and content member of the AIVP management committee.

A cocktail reception will follow the presentation, which takes place from 5-6 pm EST, also at MedCruise booth #2201.
