Almería port to join European Blue Growth strategy

such as fishing, industry, tourism, as well as the integration of ports and cities, Caicedo said. “Almería port has at the moment a great potential for innovation and growth, and it is important that it receives community aid that supports sustainable projects that generate wealth and employment.” Caicedo plans to attend the European Maritime Day (EMD) on May 16 and 17 in Lisbon, the annual event organised by the European Commission on maritime affairs and Blue Growth, which allows institutions to be put in contact with professionals in the sector. The blue economy generates 5.4 million jobs worldwide and a gross added value of almost €500 billion ($558 billion) per year. However, according to experts, more growth is still possible in some areas. Copyright (C) PortSEurope. All Rights Reserved. 2019.
