Summary of Achievements for the GUTTA Project

The GUTTA project, part of the 2014-2020 Italy-Croatia Interreg Programme, lasted 42 months and concluded on June 30th, 2022. Led by the CMCC Foundation, GUTTA's primary achievement was the development and implementation of the GUTTA-VISIR tool. This tool is designed to optimize ferry routes for minimal CO2 emissions based on forecasted marine conditions in the Adriatic and Northern Ionian Seas. The project also examined CO2 emissions from European ferries, including an analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector. GUTTA produced a wide range of outcomes, encompassing technical, communication, and administrative achievements. These are detailed below, along with a brief overview of the project's legacy and future outlook.
