The amount of waste generated is becoming an increasing problem both in terms of inefficient use of resources and its harmful effects. Large quantities of waste originate from land, but a certain amount of waste is generated at sea, in which shipping holds its share. A recent analysis for 2015-2016 has rated the Croatian ports of Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar in the top 10 out of 20 main cruising ports in the Adriatic Sea. As it is clear that a large number of persons present onboard generate a large amount of waste, the aim of this paper is to estimate the amount of waste (plastic, domestic, and food) and examine the significance of its increasing quantity produced by cruisers in the three main cruiser ports in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea for the period 2014-2017. Cruise calls correlation, together with repeated measures one-way Analysis of variance -ANOVA, showed that a future increase in the port calls for Zadar can be expected while, for the port of Dubrovnik, a decrease is projected, which is in correspondence with the taken measures for a reduction in the adverse effects of the cruise industry. Regarding the type of waste, domestic waste contributes the most with 62%, followed by the plastic waste with 26%, and food waste, which makes only 11% of the total amount of waste for that year. Waste minimization practices and further recommendations for the improvement of waste management practices are presented and put into relation with specific measures to protect and preserve the quality of the environment.

“…As a result, ports must provide waste collection services. The authors of [51] assessed the amount of solid waste received (paper, plastic, glass, household food waste, etc.) in Split port by utilizing the average number of solid wastes produced by one person on board for a single cruise day.…”

Cruise Port Performance Evaluation in the Context of Port Authority: An MCDA Approach

2022

When it comes to analyzing cruise port performance, port operators have a challenging task because there are no widely accepted or well-known procedures for evaluating cruise port performance. Any performance measures used by port authorities are rough and only offer an approximation of the terminal’s operational performance. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present a multi-criteria assessment model to assist port authorities in evaluating cruise port performance from a multidisciplinary perspective. We investigated the compatibility and utility of combining the AHP and TOPSIS methods in a proposed MCDA model for assessing cruise port performance. The AHP method was used to provide the weights of port performance indicators, and the TOPSIS method was used to assess the port performance and to create a rank list of ports. A case study involving four Mediterranean cruise ports, Barcelona, Piraeus, Civitavecchia, and Marseille, was used to show the model’s application. The case study results reveal that the safety–environmental aspect is the most important aspect in assessing cruise port performance. We compared the proposed model to a state-of-the-art paper and discovered that our model can successfully cope with various multi-criteria models for port performance assessment.

“…Cruise ships undoubtedly have negative impact on the environment: land, sea and air. Cruise emissions cover a multitude of organic and inorganic wastes in gaseous, liquid and solid forms, from solid waste [15], hazardous waste [16], bilge water, ballast water [17] [18], sanitary wastewater [19] to [21], food waste, ash from incinerators [22], biocides [23] and arange of emissions to the atmosphere like nitrogen, sulphur and carbon oxides (NOx, SOx and COx), and fl oating particles [24] [25]. Cruise ships also bring to the recipient country lots of benefi ts.…”

Cruise ship traffi c is a part of a shipping industry, which is growing constantly both in number of ships and their capacity. Port of Split is second largest cruise port in the Croatia. Many analyses were made for the city of Dubrovnik and some measures for improvement as a result have already been taken. The goal of this paper is to provide detailed analyses of cruise ship traffi c in Port of Split as a basis for a future research of carrying capacity of Split's cruise tourism in aspect of sustainable development.
