Both the Port of Cork and the Port of Harlingen are long-standing members of EcoPorts and are receiving the PERS certificate for the sixth time. As for the Port of Heraklion, they are now being certified for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isabelle Ryckbost, ESPO Secretary General<\/strong>, commented: \u201cC<em>ongratulations to the Ports of Cork, Harlingen and Heraklion for their certification. Again, three ports with a different profile but with an equally strong commitment towards environmental sustainability: the Port of Cork with its Port Action Climate Roadmap 2023, the Port of Harlingen by developing its activities in harmony with the precious and well protected environment of the Wadden Sea, the Port of Heraklion with its ambitious programme for installing onshore power supply in the port.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana\u00eblle Boudry, ESPO Senior Policy Advisor and EcoPorts Coordinator<\/strong>, said:\u00a0\u201c<em>It is very fulfilling to witness the certification of these three ports. It shows the widespread environmental efforts of European ports, as well as the growing importance and recognition of the EcoPorts network. Congratulations to these three ports, and specifically to the Port of Heraklion as a first-time certified port.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>PERS (Port Environmental Review System) is the only port-specific environmental standard. The last five years have seen important increases in its recognition and membership, with 90 ports from 26 countries currently counting themselves as part of the EcoPorts Network, and 36 ports holding PERS certification. Compliance with the EcoPorts\u2019 PERS standard is independently assessed by LRQA Nederland B.V. and the certificate has a validity of two years. EcoPorts\u2019 PERS is revised after the 2-year period to make sure that the port continues to meet the requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESPO congratulates the\u00a0Port of Cork\u00a0(Ireland), the\u00a0Port of Heraklion\u00a0(Greece), and the\u00a0Port of Harlingen\u00a0(the Netherlands) for being  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":245834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,302],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-245833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-maritimes-news","category-ports-maritimes-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
