As part of
the PORTOS project (Ports towards energy self-sufficiency), funded by the
European Interreg Atlantic Area call, the Port of Vigo invites you to a
Conference to delve into the energy transition of ports and the improvement of
their environmental integration.
The conference, open to the public, will take place on June 5th at 10:00 a.m. in the Sessions Building of the Port Authority of Vigo (you can check the full agenda HERE).
To attend, registration is required through the following link: https://forms.gle/PcRL6cnQTjuc7e7x7
Visits to
the Underwater Observatory
Furthermore,
we continue to discover what lies beneath the waters of the Port of Vigo. Until
June 15th, Nautilus will keep its doors open for you to learn more about the
daily life of the Port of Vigo, the projects it is working on, and the life
that inhabits its waters.
Visits to
the underwater observatory are guided, completely free, and have an approximate
duration of 30 minutes. They are intended for school groups and collectives (by

The HYDEA project, which is funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area 2021-2027 programme, was set up to boost the hydrogen transition in the Atlantic Area ports. During the second year of the project, the 10 members of the consortium committed into structuring methods that will enable the development of valuable tools such as action plans for ports and a decision-making tool based on real case studies. HYDEA partners have also launched three calls to provide access to their experimental facilities and expertise to support the development and testing of pre-commercial, innovative technologies.
The Port of Vigo continues to strengthen its leadership in innovation and sustainability, with two of its projects selected as finalists for the IAPH Sustainability Awards 2025, the prestigious prizes granted by the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), the world’s largest port network.
