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 />
to a more efficient but also susta<strong>in</strong>able function<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
order to be part of a bigger cha<strong>in</strong> of collaboration.<br />
