International Environment Day. Conference "The energy transition of ports: improving their environmental integration"

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 reservation) as well as the general public (without reservation), according to the following days and hours:

School groups: Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Collectives and general public: Fridays, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (the last tour will start at 12:40 p.m. in the morning and 7:40 p.m. in the evening).

REQUIREMENTS FOR RESERVED VISITS

The visit request must be made at least one (1) week in advance through the following email addresses: apvigo@apvigo.es and/or nautilus@fundaciontraslatio.org. You can download the request form HERE.

A tool for testing green hydrogen deployment scenarios in ports As interest in green hydrogen as a pathway to decarbonisation grows, so does the need for practical tools to help stakeholders assess the technical, economic and operational considerations of developing hydrogen infrastructure, from production and storage through to transport and end use. Since HYDEA's main objective is to drive the hydrogen transition in ports across the Atlantic Area, the project set out to develop a decision-support tool for hydrogen applications in ports. The main aim of this open-source tool, called HyTEA 1.0, is to support techno-economic assessment and decision-making in the planning and development of green hydrogen supply chains. It was developed by researchers at the University of Galway, a partner in the HYDEA consortium.

• The APV once again draws inspiration from Jules Verne and his "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" to bring "Atlántida" to life, evoking Captain Nemo and the crew of the Nautilus, who walked the seabed discovering the hidden treasures of the submerged realm. • Admission will be free, with guided visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and national public holidays from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. • Visitors will be able to observe first-hand the daily routine of the various marine species that inhabit this ecosystem, such as white seabream, common two-banded seabream, ballan wrasse, seabass, cuttlefish, bogue and the distinctive triggerfish.
