“…According to literature review of green shipping research, the percentage of existing papers about green shipping practice and green policy accounts for 63.8%. The collected papers cover green shipping practice involving uses of environment-friendly design of shipbuilding such as double skin, non-toxic paint, electric deck machines, ballast water handling systems, and waste-heat-recovery systems (e.g., Gradoset al, 2009, Yang et al, 2012; uses of clean-burning, low-sulphur fuels (e.g., Yiğit et al, 2016); adaptation of optimal vessel speed and routing systems (e.g., Wang 2014, Wang et al, 2016); and emissions trading and carbon levy schemes (e.g., Sterner, Dahl andFranzen1992, Wang, Fu andLuo 2015). The collected papers cover green policy involving partial contents of green shipping practice and laws or standards of port and maritime environment management (e.g., Hickman and Banister 2007, Lindstad and Eskeland 2016, Barnes-Dabban, Van Koppen and Mol 2017.…”

“…Faced with the challenges due to the increasing daily rate of environmental pollution and the generation of electricity from fossil fuel sources in different countries, the international technoscientific community has demanded the study of alternative solutions for the generation and distribution of energy [40][41][42]. Such is the case with the electrical inter-connections among some of the Egyptian seaports which, for optimal operation, are maintaining a clean and sustainable environment with the use renewable energy generation units composed of photovoltaic power generation resources [43].…”

How to Measure Environmental Performance in Ports

Oceans, seas, and marine resources are highly relevant for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Such relevance has given rise to the blue economy approach, where scholars and policymakers see activities carried out in cargo ports from a different perspective. The blue economy approach stresses the emergence of multiple transnational networks in relation to these topics and the development of green ports plus environmental measurements at seaports in general. In this context, our study aimed to review the various scientifically documented methods for measuring environmental performance in ports, ports companies, or port authorities in the maritime transport and inland waterways framework. The study followed a scientometric meta-analytic methodology to accomplish its goals. The study strictly referred to the Environmental Performance in Ports (EPP) and extracted the corpus to analyze data held in five databases embedded in the Web of Science Core Collection. Then, the selection was processed and refined with the PRISMA guidelines to establish the eligibility criteria for articles with the PICOS (Population, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, and Study) tool. A limited study set was identified. This included port environmental performance indicators and studies that were strongly influenced by the European Sea Ports Organization and Green Marine networks. These were compared based on the ecological Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), scale structure, and diversity in application. Finally, we assessed two measurement forms documented in the scientific research on the subject at a global level and discussed their pros and cons.

“…General cargo vessels consume the most HFO, followed by oil tankers and cruise ships accounting for 66,000 t, 43,000 t, and 25,000 t of HFO annual consumption, respectively [14]. The spill of fossil-based marine fuel into the water and its combustion into the air can become a major threat to the environment [15]. Despite its undesired environmental impacts, HFO continues to be the preferred fuel of the maritime transport industry due to its relatively low cost, widely available resources, and the ability to suit engines that were originally designed for HFO [14].…”

A Review of the Conceptualization and Operational Management of Seaport Microgrids on the Shore and Seaside

et al. 2021

Seaports are well known as the medium that has evolved into the central link between sea and land for complex marine activities. The growth in maritime logistics particularly necessitates a large volume of energy supply in order to maintain the operation of sea trade, resulting in an imbalance between generation and demand sides. Future projections for three major concerns show an increase in load demand, cost of operation, and environmental issues. In order to overcome these problems, integrating microgrids as an innovative technology in the seaport power system appears to be a vital strategy. It is believed that microgrids enhance seaport operation by providing sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective energy. Although microgrids are well established and widely used in a variety of operations on land, their incorporation into the seaport is still limited. The involvement of a variety of heavy loads such as all-electric ships, cranes, cold ironing, and buildings infrastructure renders it a complicated arrangement task in several aspects, which necessitates further research and leaves space for improvement. In this paper, an overview of the seaport microgrids in terms of their concepts and operation management is presented. It provides the perspectives for integrating the microgrid concept into a seaport from both shore side and seaside as a smart initiative for the green port’s vision. Future research directions are discussed towards the development of a more efficient marine power system.
