“…Otherwise, most researchers have paid attention to the environmental impact costs of pollutants mainly triggered by shipping disasters [73,[88][89][90][91][92]. In these circumstances, ethical concerns regarding the risks and negative effects of maritime accidents need to be managed, by evaluating and implementing various assisting actions and policies such as clean-ups, impact assessments, and the enactment of various international, national, and local measures, such as the US Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA-90) [93,94].…”

Management Innovation for Environmental Sustainability in Seaports: Managerial Accounting Instruments and Training for Competitive Green Ports beyond the Regulations

Abstract:In the last 30 years, environmental sustainability has been receiving increasing attention by scholars and operators. All the seaport stakeholders, including port authorities (PAs), policy-makers, port users, any port stakeholders, and local communities, must invest substantial resources to achieve high competitiveness with respect of the environment. Drawing from the extant regulations system and conducting a deep review of the main contributions on the phenomenon, this conceptual study suggests managerial accounting instruments and training, which are still under-researched, as effective measures for enforcing and encouraging green port development. This three-step study consists of a systematic review of the regulatory frameworks and literature on the phenomenon, and an outline of the gap of the legislative framework and research, from a management innovation perspective, where effective managerial practices for environmental sustainability are not successfully suggested and implemented within seaports. On the one hand, the Balanced Scorecard and Tableau de Bord are identified and proposed as managerial accounting instruments for assessing, monitoring, measuring, controlling, and reporting the organizational processes of port players, mainly PAs, for developing competitive green ports. On the other hand, training has been suggested to educate and guide the human resources at all organizational levels within seaports, for supporting and developing awareness and behavioral attitudes in the direction of environmental sustainability.

The threat to human, fauna and flora life posed by pollution due to gas flaring cannot be over-emphasized. Gas flared often resulted in some environmental degradation, one of such influence is soil pollution and poor crop yield. This study examined the effect of gas flaring on soil and cassava productivity in Ebedei, Ukwuani LGA, Delta State. For the purpose of data collection, five (5) experimental sites were systematically selected around the flare site in Ebedei and a control site at Obiaruku. Soil samples were collected at surface 0 -10 cm and 10 -20 cm at distance of 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, 200 m and 250 m apart respectively away from the bund wall of the flare. The data generated were analysed using multiple regression and paired t-test analyses. The study revealed that the soils found in Ebedei have high composition of sand and soil temperature and are acidic. The soil electrical conductivity, Phosphorous, Nitrogen, Potassium and Sodium were very low. More so, the yield of cassava increases with a corresponding increase in distances from flare site. The first hypothesis revealed that there is significant variation in soil nutrients as distance increases from gas flare sites. This is evident from F value of 234.99 which is greater than the critical table value of 4.39. Furthermore, as flare distance increases, so also the organic carbon, electrical conductivity and Nitrogen increase. The second hypothesis revealed that there is a significant difference in cassava yield at gas-flared area and the non-flared area which is evident at t (6.032) is greater than the critical table (1.895) at P < 0.05. It is therefore recommended that Government and FEPA should enact environmental Policies and revisit and review existing environmental and oil drilling laws in Nigeria with a view of updating them to international and environmental friendly standards.

“…Ce n'est pas pour rien que dans la théorie des incitations, on recherche des équilibres de Nash en stratégies dominantes [49], [46]. Les remèdes traditionnels proposés au libre-accès, taxes, marchés de droit, internalisation, fonctionnent en l'absence d'incertitude et de coûts de transaction à condition que les effets de l'externalité soient symétriques [35]. L'essence du théorème de Coase est de montrer que toute mauvaise allocation de titres légaux par le droit peut être corrigée par le marché.…”

“…La restauration de l'efficacité se fait de manière équitable [ 10]. Si les dommages ne sont pas symétriques mais unidirectionnels, l'incitation à la coopération et même à la participation au jeu doit se faire au moyen de compensations, de paiements latéraux [35]. Ce point a été complètement oublié par la commission québécoise d'enquête sur les déchets dangereux [9].…”

“…La même stratégie devrait être adoptée avec les provinces canadiennes pauvres afin de les inciter à participer à des accords environnementaux de type fédéral-provincial. L'adhésion aveugle au principe «Les pollueurs doivent être les payeurs» ne se justifie donc pas même indépendamment du théorème de Coase [35]. Un accord international sur la réduction des émissions de dioxide de carbone pourrait, s'il voulait inciter le Canada à signer, devoir prévoir des compensations pour ce pays puisque le Canada pourrait en fait bénéficier d'un réchauffement du climat.…”
