“…Winnes and Fridell (2010) studied emissions of NO x and particles from manoeuvring ships and also found the effects of particle and NO x emissions from ships in a port to be significant. Hartman and Clott (2012) studied the impact of truck emissions control on a port's container throughput, and indicated that diesel container trucks are large sources of NO x and PM. They developed an economic model minimizing the cost of truck emissions control to allow decision makers for a port to meet the throughput goal and satisfy an emission constraint.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to measure a port's green performance. The literature is reviewed and a survey is carried out to identify major green port performance indicators and to evaluate three major ports' overall green performance in Asia. Indicators located in the critical quadrants with a high degree of importance and low degree of performance are identified and resources are suggested that can be employed to improve the ports' overall sustainability performance effectively.Design/methodology/approachPort performance indicators are reviewed to select the green‐related ones by a session of brain storming with academicians from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in the shipping discipline. Selected indicators are used to design an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) questionnaire. The weight and degree of performance of each of the 17 green indicators among three major container ports are calculated by the data obtained from the AHP round survey respondents.FindingsAvoiding pollutants during cargo handling and port maintenance, noise control, and sewage treatment were perceived to be the three critical indicators by respondents in two of the three ports investigated. Among the three investigated ports, Shanghai port had the highest number of critical indicators to be improved. Air pollutants avoidance, encouraging the use of low‐sulphur fuel, and using electrically powered equipment were three of the five critical indicators found in Shanghai port, but not in the other two investigated ports in this study.Originality/valueThe theoretical implications of this research are the development of a conceptual framework to measure the degree of importance of a set of green port performance indicators, and to provide a decision support system to help port authorities to evaluate their performance regarding the 17 green port performance indicators compared with that of other ports.

“…In consequence, investigations aiming at a better evaluation of exhaust pollutants in real-world conditions are important (Wyatt et al, 2014;Chen and Borken-Kleefeld, 2014;, to reduce uncertainties in overall emissions estimation with inventory models, to identify the most influencing parameters (Demir et al, 2011) and to develop suitable assessment methods. Comparison of technical solutions for effective reduction of pollution and energy use (Pastorello et al, 2011;Lajunen, 2014; and input data for emission models are other potential results from such studies (Hartman and Clott, 2012;Ligterink et al, 2012;Norsworthy and Craft, 2013 Taking into account the importance of Heavy Duty Vehicles in freight transports, especially in connecting urban road network and territories and industrial, commercial and shipping activities, a study was jointly developed by the Internal Combustion Engines Group (ICEG) of the University of Genoa and the Transports and Environmental Laboratory (LTE) of IFSTTAR, aiming at characterising HDV activities in urban and port areas. In-use vehicle fleet and their related mileage, vehicle types and characteristics, mission profiles and associated speed traces were defined through specific surveys, experimental campaigns and statistical data processing.…”

“…Long-term exposure to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and Nitrogen oxides (NOx) has a significant effect on the health of employees working directly in port operations, as well as in the local population (TANG et al, 2017;PERIS-MORA et al, 2005;HARTMAN;CLOTT, 2012).…”

This paper aims to evaluate the sustainable performance within the concept of Green Port in the logistics operations. Through literature review about green port implementation in different ports worldwide, as well as the studies of various technologies and methods that aim to make the port environment more sustainable, this study will go through different levels, from the shipping loading and unloading, passing through all sectors and actors related to the movement of cargo inside the port, which may on the sustainable performance of the environment, to the inland transportation. The study focus on the reduction of emissions of pollutant gases such as sulfur oxides (Sox), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and Carbon dioxide (CO2). The work addresses the possible innovations in the logistics operations inherent in the transportation, storage, and handling of goods, involving the analysis, types, and operations of the resources used in the port management of the largest port in Brazil, Port of Santos.
