“…The major objective of environmental management is to control the impact of port activities, products and services on air, water, soil and sediment (Gupta et al, 2005). One tool to do so is monitoring, since it is crucial for a port to evaluate the state of the environment (Wooldridge et al, 1999;Saengsupavanich et al, 2009).…”

This paper investigates the current status and trends over time in the environmental performance of European ports. The research is based on the provision of data from 79 European ports on issues related to their environmental management, environmental priorities and current environmental monitoring practices. This study updates previous environmental reviews, so that the trends over time are drawn. For instance, 90% of respondent ports stated that they have an environmental policy and 94% of ports have designated environmental personnel. The percentage of ports that have an Environmental Management System has increased by +33% in the last 9 years. Air quality, port waste and energy consumption emerged as the three major environmental priorities of the European port sector in 2013. The research also reveals the diversity amongst European ports in terms of size and physical surroundings. Some examples are presented on specific initiatives carried out by sector organisations about the Top-10 port priority issues. The future expectations of European ports on data collection and reporting are describedPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

“…However, ports and their related activities (e.g., industry, storage of hazardous materials, fishing, shipping, dredging, land traffic) also have an impact on the environment. For example, they can create water (Grifoll et al, 2011), soil (Gupta et al, 2005), air (Bailey and Solomon, 2004), or noise and light pollution (ibid. ), and can affect habitats and ecosystems (Puig et al, 2014).…”

“…Gupta, Gupta, and Patil (2005) discussed the environmental management plan (EMP) using a variety of methods to protect the environment and prevent and control pollution during the entire construction and operation phase of a major port. Saengsupavanich et al (2009) proposed 12 environmental performance indicators (EPIs) for assessing industrial ports.…”
