IS THE PROJECT PROMOTING/ IMPLEMENTING GREEN TECHNOLOGIES?<br />

IF YES – HOW/ WHAT KIND?<br />

Awareness Workshops <strong>and</strong> Brokerage Events have proven effective in introducing participants to green maritime<br />

<strong>and</strong> intermodal transport technologies. Such was the case <strong>with</strong> the ships construction <strong>and</strong> maintenance too <strong>and</strong><br />

particular attention was paid to maritime <strong>and</strong> transport safety <strong>and</strong> security. Since traffic congestion throughout<br />

European road network should be reduced by freight shift to the water <strong>and</strong> multimodal transport, water transport<br />

should be adequately improved <strong>and</strong> strengthened, <strong>and</strong> the realization of this task requires a better knowledge. And<br />

that was just the core of the <strong>EU</strong>ROMAR-BRIDGES project.<br />
