During the ESPO Conference Regatta 2021, eight ports received their Port Environmental Review System (PERS) certificates during a special ceremony. ESPO congratulates all the certified ports on their exceptional achievement. During the ceremony, North Sea Port (NL/BE) and the Port of Oslo received their first PERS-certificates. North Sea Port joined EcoPorts in 2018 and is the first cross-border port to become PERS-certified, highlighting the potential of transnational ports to excel in environmental management in Europe. The Port of Oslo (NO) showed incredible dedication by achieving their PERS within one year of joining the EcoPorts Network.
