“…Many floating port projects have been put into use to provide operational flexibility thanks to its technical advantage over the existing traditional port (Kim & Morrison, 2012). Kurt et al (2021) presented offshore container port systems as an alternative to existing ports to be able to handle mega ships, and at the same time, capacity increase will be possible in the existing port area. Venice Offshore-Onshore Port System (VOOPS), another important offshore port project, is proposed both to increase the port capacity of the region and as an alternative port structure for historic Venice, which will be affected by SLR (Pachakis et al, 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.
