Athens, Greece – February 19-20, 2025
The FLEETfor55 project officially launched with a successful Kick-Off Meeting held in the vibrant city of Athens, Greece, bringing together partners and stakeholders to begin shaping the future of sustainable waterborne transport.
Organised by project coordinator HYDRUS, the two-day meeting marked the start of FLEETfor55’s mission: to develop a state-of-the-art Sustainable Energy Efficiency Technologies Roadmap for the waterborne sector, aligned with the European Union’s Fit-for-55 targets.
The agenda focused on laying a solid foundation for the project, including the establishment of the management structure, technical work plans, and communication and dissemination strategies. Discussions spanned key thematic areas such as:
- Identification of sector-specific requirements
- Evaluation and integration of cutting-edge technologies
- Safety protocols and risk assessments
- Digitalisation opportunities
- Environmental and sustainability assessments
The Kick-Off Meeting was a valuable opportunity for partners to align on objectives, share insights, and build momentum for the collaborative work ahead.
FLEETfor55 is co-funded by the European Union and plays a key role in advancing innovation and sustainability across the maritime sector. With a strong consortium and a clear roadmap, the project is ready to set course toward a greener, more energy-efficient future for waterborne transport.
Stay tuned for more updates as FLEETfor55 progresses!
