Small ports are scattered across the Central Baltic area, but notwithstanding the distance, they share the same issues: a short season in which they have to compete for people’s time and a limited amount of financial resources and skills for port development. To tackle these challenges, various small ports underwent many activities and investments to improve both safety and energy efficiency. However, currently, a common information platform for boaters is missing. Therefore, finding out about small ports' energy-efficient services can be challenging. 

CBSmallPorts will gather the relevant information about the investments done in the small ports of the Central Baltic area, as well as the essential resources available in relation to small ports into a joint network. Instead of various separate web apps, the project will formulate a common online platform “SmallPorts” combining the information both for boaters, other service users, and small ports. The app’s theme is “climate-friendly leisure time in small ports”. The key task of the project will be to define the energy efficiency level of the ports and to offer guidance to small ports in order for them to invest in energy efficiency, as well as to work on a marketing strategy and open an online platform aimed at combining data from different sources and applications. 

Moreover, the CBSmallPorts project will develop energy efficiency solutions aimed at improving the small ports' service level in the whole Central Baltic area. More efficient supply of energy in small ports will benefit boaters and other small port users as well as the environment. The project will implement the investments supporting an energy efficiency approach and green values in marketing. The project activities will also involve dissemination in some of the most appreciated boating fairs in Finland, Sweden, and Germany.

Improved small port

Energetic small ports in Central Baltic region paid attention to climate friendliness

The main aim of the project was to improve energy efficiency and climate friendly services in Central Baltic small ports. As a result of the project 13 small ports were improved. Investments on energy efficiency technologies, like solar panels and wind-power generators, and safety were made in following ports: Seili, Airisto Strand, Tervasaari, Sapokka, Keihässalmi Pyhtää in Finland; Bläse Kalkbruk, Klacksörarna in Sweden; Lennusadam, Lõunaranna, Roograhu, Kärdla, Orjaku and Sõru in Estonia.

Another important objective of the project was to promote the network of Central Baltic small ports as a joint destination for maritime tourists. All small ports of CB area were presented and marketed using marketing material (destination map, sailing route book and videos made in the project) and by using the online platform of CBSmallPorts.
