The conference focuses on the use of Liquefied Natural Gaz (LNG) as an alternative, cleaner, fuel for maritime transport. It is an occasion to celebrate european territorial cooperation and showcase the contribution of european cross-border maritime cooperation to improve the sustainability of maritime transport in the Mediterranean.
The event is organised by the “Office des Transports de Corse”. It aims at presenting the projects related to the use of cleaner fuel for maritime transportation, that are funded by the Interreg Italy-France Maritime Programme.
