In fact, GUTTA will develop a decision support system for ferryboat routes of minimal CO2 emissions, depending on forecast environmental conditions. GUTTA will also support and inform about the implementation of the EU-MRV regulation 757/2015 on CO2 emissions from vessels.

Information added on 2020-05-18, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): The GUTTA project is focused on ferry boat transport. In the Adriatic Sea, this industry is heavily coupled to tourism sector. It is thinkable that knowledge of the ferry boat traffic and its transformation during and after the pandemic might be a valuable input for shaping forthcoming strategies for tourism recovery.
