OPEN PORTS 2023. Celebrate with us the International Environment Day

In the framework of the PORTOS project (Ports towards energy self-sufficiency), funded by the European Interreg Atlantic Area call, the Port of Vigo invites you to dive into the underwater observatory "Nautilus".

In this context, from May 1 to June 15, the Nautilus will have its doors open so you can learn a little more about the daily life of the Port of Vigo and the projects it is working on, as well as discovering the life that lives under its waters.

The visits to the underwater observatory are guided, totally free and have an approximate duration of 30 minutes. They are intended for school groups and groups (by reservation) and for the general public (without reservation), according to the following days and times:

  • School groups: Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

  • Groups 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 show will begin at 12:40 p.m. in the morning and at 7:40 p.m. in the afternoon).

 

REQUIREMENTS FOR VISITS BY RESERVATION

The request for a visit must be made at least one (1) week in advance, through the following e-mail address: apvigo@apvigo.es and/or nautilus@fundaciontraslatio.org.  You can download the application 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.
