What’s happen<strong>in</strong>g? How does it happen?<br />

Usually Logistic cluster do add value <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> region<br />

<strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y are located, where a good presence<br />

of differentiated connections are present, and logistic<br />

platform toge<strong>the</strong>r with freight volumes are <strong>in</strong><br />

place. The CLUSTER 2.0 project is putt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> connection<br />

different European logistic clusters and it<br />

is strategiz<strong>in</strong>g for a more efficient and susta<strong>in</strong>able<br />

model of <strong>in</strong>terrelation. The Logistic clusters <strong>in</strong>volved<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> projects are: Zaragoza (PLAZA), Duisburg<br />

(Duisport), Lille (Dourges), Bologna (Interporto) or<br />

London (Heathrow). This platform is enhanc<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>termodal connections between <strong>the</strong><br />

ports. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, creat<strong>in</strong>g strategies <strong>in</strong> between<br />

of <strong>the</strong> clusters <strong>in</strong> order to be more efficient, it is possible<br />

to have transportation and handl<strong>in</strong>g costs improvement,<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r with reduction <strong>in</strong> emissions<br />

and energy loss.Why is this an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g circular<br />

<strong>in</strong>itiative for circular harbours?The cluster <strong>in</strong>terrelation<br />

and connection are lead<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> constitution<br />

of a general strategy generat<strong>in</strong>g common aims and<br />

goals to reach throughout collaboration. In this sense<br />

<strong>the</strong> sett<strong>in</strong>g of common strategy is lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> cluster<br />
