“…It can be said that the advantages of floating ports, compared to their concerns and disadvantages, bring these structures to the fore. Floating port structures can be considered not only to reduce the risk of SLR but also to support the sustainability of the maritime transport sector, which is constantly growing and technically exceeds the limits of conventional ports (Kurt et al, 2023). In addition, the fact that the ports in Table 3 are in densely populated locations makes floating port systems an important alternative in case of relocation of conventional ports, as they are not affected by land scarcity and land costs (Waals, 2017).…”

“…ports, which promise a systematic approach to the relocation measure offered for SLR, also have the potential to attract attention with their short payback period. Floating ports, with their low investment cost, high return rate, and other techno-physical advantages compared to conventional ports, can be considered as an alternative against the SLR threat(Kim & Morrison, 2012;Baird & Rother, 2013;Kurt et al, 2015Kurt et al, , 2021Kurt et al, , 2023. Creating a sheltered area for a floating port may require the construction of a breakwater, which can cause a significant increase in cost and may negatively affect the economic feasibility of floating ports.…”

Ports are one of the structures where the effects of global warming are most severe and intense in atmospheric, oceanic, and geographical terms. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s assessment reports, although it is possible to slow down global warming by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is not foreseen to stop global warming and sea level rise (SLR) in any scenario. The rising sea level, an inevitable consequence of global warming, is a clear threat to conventional port facilities. In summary, SLR triggered by climate change, which is today's hot topic, may cause conventional port infrastructures to be flooded and lose their functionality. To cope with this threat, port facility planning, and design stages must be carried out by referring to the updated threshold values in Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios defined by the Working Groups of the IPCC. However, the uncertainty about the scale, timing, and location of SLR makes definitive solution-oriented approaches more prominent. One of these approaches is floating port structures. This study aims to reveal the role of floating port structures in the implementation of the relocation measure emphasized in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) for conventional ports under the threat of SLR. Initially, in this study, regions with higher SLR risk were identified by considering SSP scenarios contributed by Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) data. Afterwards, the dynamic downscaling model was used to determine the regions with higher regional sea level rise (RSLR) risk and the Marine Traffic database was used to determine the ports in these regions. Thus, it is evaluated whether floating ports can be a suitable alternative in the relocation decision of ports under SLR risk. It is expected that maritime transport will be maintained at adequate security and operational levels by revealing the pros and cons of floating ports.

Konteynerize lojistiğin avantajlarının artması ile beraber lojistik ağlarda, konteyner sahalarına ve limanlarına olan ihtiyaç gün geçtikçe neredeyse hiperbolik bir şekilde artmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, özellikle eski kurulan terminallerdeki geri saha problemleri tesis kapasitelerini sınırlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, yeni kapasitelerin inşa edilerek devreye alınmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, yeni tesislerin yer problemleri nedeni ile sanayi bölgelerinden daha uzak bölgelere inşa edilmesi durumları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu durum, hem maliyetleri artırmakta hem de karbon emisyonları bakımından üretim tesislerini dezavantajlı duruma getirmektedir. Ayrıca, geri-depo sahalarında kapasiteler belirlenirken hava şartları, geri saha istif ekipman kat sınırlamaları ve konteynerlerin zati kaldırma kapasiteleri vb. kısıtları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada geleneksel depolama sistemlerinin darboğazlarını tanımlayan kriterler belirlenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre en önemli kriterin ‘Ekipman Sınırlamaları’ olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu da tesislerde kapasiteyi belirleyen istifleme yüksekliğindeki sınırlamaların bir sonucudur. Bu nedenle, gelecekte ihtiyaç duyulacak kapasitelere cevap verebilecek bir sistemin uygun stratejik yaklaşımlarla belirlenmesi kaynak temelli yaklaşım açısından da en rekabetçi yaklaşım olacaktır. Bu bağlamda, yüksek katlı konteyner depolama-istifleme sistemleri, dar alanda yüksek depolama kapasiteleri, yüksek operasyonel verimlilik, yeşil enerji üretimine olanak vermesi ve daha düşük karbon ayak izi gibi avantajları bakımından kapasite problemlerini gidermeye çalışan limanlar için rekabetçi avantaj getirecektir.
