Duration: 30 months

Funded by: Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia – PR FESR 2021-2027 program

PORTRAIT (Port to Rail Digital Twin in the Adriatic Region) is a joint research and development project funded by Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia under the PR FESR 2021-2027 program. The project is part of the “S4 – Sustainable Smart Specialization Strategy” area for “Maritime Technologies – Sustainable Waterborne Mobility and its land connections”, in the framework of the second development trajectory dedicated to “Smart Mobility: technologies, systems, and intelligent solutions for ships, shipyards, ports, and their land connections”. ESTECO, together with Adriafer, IKON, LIFT and the University of Trieste, will create a highly interactive and detailed digital representation of the port system, consisting of the Ports of Trieste and Monfalcone and the inland terminals of Fernetti, Cervignano, and Gorizia. This digital representation will assist port community operators in making informed decisions, improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and managing network disruptions. It will be crucial in optimizing the last mile of rail operations, promoting greater integration between the rail network and port activities.
