The measure aims to develop and promote the use of LNG for maritime and inland navigation and for port services. Among the various actions, it is expected: the issuing of tax relief rules for the construction of LNG depots and/or distributors in ports; the definition of suitable port tariffs to facilitate the use of LNG-powered maritime vehicles; agreeing with the EU on forms of financing aimed at the construction of LNG depots and vehicles in line with EU policies; incentives for LNG shipbuilding; removal of barriers, including authorizations, to the installation of infrastructure for the supply of LNG on the road network and within ports; facilitation of the supply phase by promoting the construction of small-scale coastal depots.
