The main objective of NoMEPorts project is reduction of noise, noise-related annoyance and health problems of people living around port industrial areas through demonstration of a noise mapping and management system. These systems make use of a new EU noise calculation method and a noise database developed in the EU projects HARMONOISE and IMAGINE. NoMEPorts demonstrates the use of these systems specifically for port industrial areas.
The demonstration leads to definition of relevant noise in industrial port areas in noise maps and definition of proposals for action plans to reduce noise annoyance.

Description
The project analyses the most efficient way to collect data and to create noise maps: what has to be taken into account and at what detail level? Based on the analysis, guidelines are developed as an advice on specification of the EU Noise Directive and as input for future noise policy. The project experiences lead to optimisation of the noise management system for specific use with (port) industrial areas. The developed method will also be examined for use for general industrial areas and air pollution. Through dissemination of the results a level playing field for noise mapping and management in port industrial areas is promoted by the use of the uniform guidelines developed in the project.
To reach the project objectives, the technical work in the project is divided over the different groups of partners: local working groups, a central working group, a noise management consultant and a project management group.
