Concepts of green port operations – one kind of self-diagnosis method to the port of Santos - Brazil

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the sustainable performance within the concept of Green Port in the logistics operations. Through literature review about green port implementation in different ports worldwide, as well as the studies of various technologies and methods that aim to make the port environment more sustainable, this study will go through different levels, from the shipping loading and unloading, passing through all sectors and actors related to the movement of cargo inside the port, which may on the sustainable performance of the environment, to the inland transportation. The study focus on the reduction of emissions of pollutant gases such as sulfur oxides (Sox), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and Carbon dioxide (CO2). The work addresses the possible innovations in the logistics operations inherent in the transportation, storage, and handling of goods, involving the analysis, types, and operations of the resources used in the port management of the largest port in Brazil, Port of Santos.

Analysis of industry 4.0 and their impact on port environmental management

“…Santos and Hilsdorf (2019) studied the impact of the truck appointment and what process, integrated with an electronic communication system can contribute to more sustainable operations (Hartman & Clott, 2012;Daamen & Vries, 2013). This system directly affects the port, as well as its surroundings (Aregall et al, 2018) or the cities close to it, avoiding the congestion of trucks on the roads and surroundings and contributing to the environment (Hou & Geerlings, 2016;Jia et al, 2017;Kuznetsov et al, 2015;Moura & Andrade, 2018).…”

Research on Sustainable Port: Evaluation of Green Port Policies on China’s Coasts

“…Possible differences (including problems) arise mainly from geographical location, technological development, and degree of industrialization [10]. Therefore, to realize the "green port", scholars have provided advice and a theoretical basis in the fields of operation, policy, marketing, and other related areas [11][12][13]. In reality, numerous ports have embarked on greening efforts, using solar power as an alternative energy source [14].…”

Impacto Das Inovações Na Evolução Do Setor Portuário: Uma Revisão De Literatura

“…A literatura relacionada à inovação no setor portuário é vasta, com pesquisas focadas em: inovações tecnológicas (CARLAN et al, 2017;INKINEN;HELMINEN;SAARIKOSKI, 2019;LEE-PARTRIDGE;TEO;LIM, 2000); portos 4.0 (BASTUG et al, 2020;KARAS, 2020;ZARZUELO;SOEANE;BERMUDEZ, 2020); portos 'verdes' (ACCIARO; GHIARA; CUSANO, 2014;DE MOURA;ANDRADE, 2018;MARITZ;SHIEH;YEH, 2014); processo de inovação (CAHOON; PATEMAN;CHEN, 2013;HAUGSTETTER;CAHOON, 2010;VANELSLANDER et al, 2019); e outros. Apesar de existirem pesquisas que descrevam a introdução de inovações específicas ou que abordem os fatores envolvidos no processo de inovação, há escassez de pesquisas que integrem os ENSSLIN, 2012;THIEL;ENSSLIN, 2017).…”
