Priorities for the Sustainability of Maritime and Coastal Passenger Transport in Europe
This book examines the key priorities and strategies for improving the sustainability of maritime and coastal passenger transport in Europe. It explores the role of maritime transportation in reducing road traffic congestion, strengthening cross-border connectivity, and providing sustainable mobility alternatives, particularly in Mediterranean countries. The book discusses European Union policies and initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving port infrastructure and management, enhancing passenger services, and promoting multimodal transportation systems. It also presents analytical methods and practical approaches for understanding travel demand, passenger behavior, service quality, and strategic planning in maritime transport. Developed within the framework of the MIMOSA project, a collaboration between Italy and Croatia, the book emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in improving connectivity between coastal regions while minimizing environmental impacts. It highlights the need for integrated transport policies, technological innovation, efficient port operations, and improved connections between maritime and other transportation modes. This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, transportation planners, and professionals interested in sustainable maritime transport, coastal mobility, and cross-border transportation development in Europe.
