The European SEANERGY project, which concluded in March, has left behind two new tools aimed at helping ports advance their energy transition efforts—a master plan for decarbonisation strategies and a catalogue of emerging technologies.
The first of these tools is the Port Energy Transition Master Plan. Developed in collaboration with specialists in port management, energy, and environmental sustainability, this guide provides a structured approach for ports to design and implement their own decarbonisation strategies.
The plan is divided into three phases—initial vision, strategic planning, and implementation with evaluation—allowing ports of various sizes and profiles to tailor the process to their specific needs. It also includes a framework for continuous improvement, enabling organisations to review progress and adapt to changing circumstances.

The second resource is a Catalogue of Technologies for Port Decarbonisation. This catalogue compiles more than 90 technologies relevant to sustainable port operations, including solutions for ship power supply, cargo handling equipment, and alternative fuels.
Each entry provides a detailed description and direct links to technology providers, making it easier for ports to identify and adopt suitable innovations.

SEANERGY was co-financed by the Horizon Europe programme and brought together 12 partners from nine European countries, including Fundación Valenciaport.
The project’s broader objective was to support the EU’s energy transition by developing practical resources and educational pathways specific to the port sector.
