3rd meeting- Croatia. The fourth day.
On the fourth day, we visited the island of Korčula. The day started with a bus ride that lasted a few hours, continued by a short boat ride to the port next to the old town of Korčula. We received a tour around the old town. The guide thoroughly explained the history of Korčula (both the town and the island) and in the end, she taught us how to play an old board game. We played it with gummy bears and chocolates, the chocolate team won. We had lunch at a restaurant in the mall located outside the old town of Korčula. During the few hours of free time, one of us went swimming in the cold water. We were back in Metković at about 7 o'clock. Written by Diandra Sisestama Diandra
3rd meeting- Croatia. The third day.
Day started with a bus ride to Dubrovnik, which took about 2 hours. We got a tour around the city with a local guide. After that we had some free time and went shopping for souvenirs. The evening was spent with other countries eating dinner. We were all rather tired as we walked a lot today. Written by Diandra
“Automation”, “digitization” and “waste separation and recycling” are key words for a Smart and Green Port (SGP). SGP should use renewable sources of energy (e.g. solar and wind power). In addition, SGP must be characterized by appropriate specifications, such as: A) Automated security systems. B)Marine and noise pollution control systems. C) Waste collection and separation systems. Both waste coming straight from boats and waste that is found and collected at sea should be taken into account and treated accordingly. All recyclable materials (glass, paper, plastic, aluminum, iron, mineral oils, batteries, used fishing equipment) should be sorted and recycled. D) Automated information system for the a) timetables of the passenger ships (time and place of arrival and departure), b) specially designated areas- jetties for each type of ship, c) exact location of cargo (using co-ordinate systems), and d) means of transport service (e.g. train, subway, bus, taxi). E) Passenger reception areas where all necessary specifications will be met. F) Modern power and water supply facilities. Free Internet connection should also be available. G) Modern and “eco-friendly” facilities for loading and unloading goods.
ReplyDeleteA Digital Port Guide (DPG) with all the necessary information is necessary. Moreover, Digital Information Boards (DIB) established at “key points” of the port are useful for everybody.
