The One Ocean Summit Brest 2022 declared their joint commitment including the ESI program on February 11, 2022. IAPH is now encouraged to broadly disseminate the ESI program to the port communities worldwide in the years to come.

The port authorities, representing the main maritime entry points of the countries represented at the One Ocean Summit, the terminal operators as well as the financial institutions signatories, declare their common commitment:

– To make their best efforts to deploy, by 2028, shore-side electricity supply, in particular for cruises and container ships.

– To reward as ports the most virtuous ships stopovers by incentive mechanisms such as those based on the environmental ship index (ESI)or Green Award program, which allow to reduce stopover fees and in general to promote actions in favour of the improvement of the port passage environmental balance.
