Safe, ClimAte Resilient Infrastructure

Project description

Safe and efficient climate resilience platform for ports

Climate change has triggered more erratic weather patterns, posing significant disruptions to port cities and infrastructure, resulting in potential financial and structural repercussions. The EU-funded SAFARI project seeks to address this challenge by creating a digital platform featuring emergency management and analytical modules. These tools aim to assist large port communities in enhancing their resilience to disruptive weather patterns, while aligning with climate objectives. Using the platform, ports aim to maintain operations at 80 % capacity and achieve a 20 % shift in cargo modal during adverse weather conditions, all while minimising environmental impacts. The effectiveness of the platform will be evaluated through testing and demonstration at ports in Dunkirk, Seville, and Lisbon.

Objective

SAFARIs project aims to develop a generic digital platform for resilient port infrastructure, connected to large port communities, facing extreme weather events, with emergency management modules fed by operational, maintenance and analytical modules.
The implementation of the SAFARI project will allow to:
Maintain the port operation at 80% of capacity during the disruption periods;
Optimize the allocation of multi-modal transport assets before and after the disrupting event to reach 20% of modal cargo shift with less environmental footprint and to minimize the downtime during extreme weather events;
Develop resilience measures to strengthen existing port infrastructure against extreme weather events.
Ensure the safety of personnel, vessels and protect the biodiversity;
Build a governance model and guidelines to address climate risks and hazards for port infrastructure.
The SAFARI consortium aims to deploy new measures reaching a TRL 7 by the end of the project in different maritime and inland infrastructures of port partners, from North Sea, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, that can minimize the impacts of the disturbances issued from the extreme weather events. Three pilot demonstrators are selected from the littorals of Europe, namely Port of Dunkirk (FR), Port of Seville (ES) and Port of Lisbon (PT).
