• Environmental Agency of Veneto
Region (ARPAV) – scientific partner
• Municipality of Venice – Air
Quality Department

1_APICE in Venice opened the discussion to Stakeholders participation in cothinking and co-operating in developing actions for mitigation of Air Pollution;
2_APICE as a platform for discussion on the interaction between anthropogenic
activities in the Lagoon context and their compatibility with Air Quality;
3_ Contents and analysis were co-built with the local stakeholders according to
their competences and their roles with respect to the topics taken into
consideration.

Venice and its territory
1_The Harbour is located
inside the Venice Lagoon
2_ It is divided in two main
sections: i) Commercial
and Industrial Harbour in
Marghera; ii) Passengers
Port in Marittima;
3_The phase of
Manoeuvring is quite long,
from the Inlets to the berths
(2h 45’ to Marghera; 1h 45’
to Marittima)

Future time: 2020 Venice Port development
_New Motorways of the Sea Terminal: 1800 ships for year in Fusina
_The New Container Terminal: first development at 155 containerships
_Cruise ships increase of 2% a year
_Increment of traffic induced by port activities, related to the Venice harbour development scenario: +2%
annual for passenger vehicles, +1.350.000 heavy duty vehicles at 2020
_Sulphur content of 0.5 m/m with a PM2.5/PM10 (MARPOL Annex VI at 2020) emission decrease of 20%

_ Launching of a Second Edition of the Venice Blue Flag, by the Municipality of Venice,
the Venice Port Autorithy, the Venice Terminal Passengers and the Harbour Master. Currently
under discussion the level of percentage in sulphure content and the schedule. It aims to
anticipate the prescription on fuels by 2020, to be implemented towards an agreement with
Ship Companies. (Venice Blue Flag, first edition in 2007-2009, n.30 Ship Companies)
_ Actions and measures currently under discussion, towards a mix of solutions to be
implemented in a strict relation with ship companies and local institutions, according to a framework
in evolution towards 2020.

In line with the approach of concertation between stakeholders, great attention is given to
measure group 7, titled «Coordination, Monitoring, Inventoring, Communicating», towards the
constitution of a Coastal Air Quality Steering/Working Group in charge to coordinate and
to integrate the activities going on about Air Quality, according to each stakeholder’s
competences and roles.
Those actions attains on a high ranking position, as to witness the great interest on the
necessity to corrdinate and to capitalize results, data and actions.

_ Blue Flag II edition: agreement with Shipowners anticipating 2020 requirements in fuels;
_Agreement between Venice Port Autority, Venice Harbour Master, Venice Custom Agency,
to extend the recent agreement on controls, towards a perspective of sharing data to
update emissions inventory and related management activities;
_Establishing a permanent table between stakeholders with respect to monitoring and
controls for air quality; modalities will be defined by participants with respect to their roles and
competences;
_Regional Plan for Air Quality of Veneto (Piano di Risanamento e Tutela dell’Atmosfera,
PRTRA), under revision: acquisition of APICE results in terms of emissions inventories and
as preliminary studies for the local action plan for Venice compartment;
_Regional Masterplan of Veneto (Piano Territoriale Regionale di Coordinamento, PTRC),
under revision: acquisition on transport indications and environmental results within the
Regional Masterplan updating activities: rationalization and optimization of infrastructure;
mobility policies, environmental compatibility and landscape quality.
