DOCK-BI “Development Of Connections between the Key ports of Brindisi and Igoumenitsa” is an infrastructural project financed by Interreg V-A Greece-Italy Programme 2014/2020 aimed at upgrading port areas and cross-border ferry connectivity between the key ports of Brindisi and Igoumenitsa.

The ASI Consortium of Brindisi is the lead beneficiary of this project in cooperation with two Italian partners – the Southern Adriatic Sea Ports Authority and the Municipality of Brindisi– and two Greek partners- the Igoumenitsa Port Authority and the Municipality of Igoumenitsa.

OBJECTIVES

Since maritime transport plays a key role in the local economy of the two countries, DOCK-BI faces a common cross-border challenge: to improve the unsatisfactory multimodal accessibility and fill in the lack of integration and interconnection of transport modes between the two ports. How? Through implementing strategic infrastructural interventions able to boost maritime transport and improve accessibility and integration with ports’ adjacent areas. To fulfil this objective, the project foresees some infrastructural strategic interventions aimed at fostering maritime transport and improving accessibility and integration with the areas adjacent to the two ports.

 OUTPUTS

The infrastructural interventions foreseen in the port areas of Brindisi and Igoumenitsa are the following:

• Energy efficiency and consolidation of the Costa Morena Ovest lighthouse towers (Port of Brindisi).
• The transit area in Costa Morena port gate will be redeveloped;
• The access roads to Brindisi ferry port area will be improved;
• The third passenger terminal of Igoumenitsa port will be completed;
• The street lighting at the main roads around Igoumenitsa port will be upgraded.

 RESULTS

Not only passengers, tourists and economic operators, but also inhabitants, transport stakeholders and port authorities will directly and indirectly benefit from a modern and enhanced cross-border mobility between Italy and Greece thanks to the infrastructural interventions foreseen by DOCK-BI. Also, the project innovative approach in dealing with the integration of transport modality in the involved areas will be a growth driver for both Puglia and Greece in terms of competitiveness and attractiveness of the entire region across the Adriatic – Ionian maritime border.
