EcoPorts is the main environmental initiative of the European port sector. It
was initiated by a
number of proactive ports in 1997 and has been fully integrated into the European Sea Ports
Organisation (ESPO) since 2011. The overarching principle of EcoPorts is to raise awareness on
environmental protection through cooperation and sharing of knowledge between ports and improve
environmental management.
