North Adriatic Sea Port Authority (NASPA): Investigating how to reduce ship noise pollution, providing cruise ships with recommendations

06 May 2021

Mindful that emissions reductions targets must address all forms of pollution, the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority (NASPA) launched a series of projects to monitor and reduce noise pollution, working alongside academics from the University of Padua. Since 2007, NASPA has carried out acoustic characterisations to monitor ship noise emissions. According to the measures obtained from the acoustic models, NASPA provided a set of recommendations to reduce cruise ships noise, with the result of a targeted reduction of noise pollution in previously badly affected areas.
