Maritime ports – works or mixed

The 'Maritime ports – works or mixed' funding program targets entities involved in developing and improving maritime port infrastructure within the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The primary objective is to develop and modernize maritime ports on the Core Network, ensuring safe maritime access, fostering sustainable solutions, and improving regional connectivity. The geographical scope primarily covers EU Member States, with specific attention to remote and insular regions.

This program provides funding for a variety of projects within maritime ports, covering specific infrastructure works and related studies. The supported activities aim to enhance port functionality, promote environmental sustainability, and improve connectivity. While comprehensive details on eligible and excluded costs are outlined in the specific call documents and grant agreement, the program focuses on infrastructure development, with certain exclusions like infrastructure dedicated solely to cruise ships.

The program offers grants as the primary form of financial support. While a substantial indicative budget was available for the call, specific maximum funding amounts per project are not detailed in the general overview. Projects are typically expected to have a duration of 4 to 5 years, allowing for significant infrastructure development.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to strict conditions covering admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and operational aspects. These include specific rules for proposal submission, budget allocation, and ensuring fair access to supported infrastructure. All relevant details are comprehensively outlined in the official call document and accompanying legal texts.

The application process for the 'Maritime ports – works or mixed' program is a single-stage submission conducted through an online system. Detailed application forms, annexes, and supporting documents are required to be submitted. Applications are evaluated based on specific award criteria, and successful applicants are informed of the evaluation results.

The 'Maritime ports – works or mixed' funding program is firmly rooted in a comprehensive legal framework of the European Union, ensuring its mandate and operational guidelines are clearly defined. It operates under specific EU regulations that govern trans-European transport networks and financial management, making official texts publicly available for transparency and compliance.
