The paper describes a methodology to evaluate a global environmental impact of different transportation systems in coastal metropolitan areas. In particular, the proposal of a new sea passenger line covered with innovative high speed vessels (SES - Surface Effect Ship) in the metropolitan area around Genoa is considered. This part of the study is directed to evaluate both economical feasibility and environmental impact of the mentioned sea passenger line; to this aim, a general methodology, based on the application of Environmental Impact Assessment (E.I.A.) to marine vessels, is developed. The application of EIA to sea and land transportation systems allows to evaluate, during decision making processes, the most favourable ways (maritime or land) to satisfy a today general demand of environmental compatible transport systems.
