“…Poulsen et al [19] and Davarzani et al [5] highlight the role of port adaptation to greener technologies, Reynolds and Hurley [20] highlight the design of ships and green operating procedures, while Fozza and Recagno [10] emphasize the importance of adapting ships with new propulsion and greener engines to ensure greener maritime transport. The latter is highlighted also by Nikolić et al [18]. Moreover, the use of slow steaming and thus slower travel speeds is an operational decision that helps to reduce emissions from maritime transport [4].…”

The article emphasizes the importance of considering modern transport chains from the point of view of green transport. In addition to the traditional way of dealing with transport chains and supply chains, where the focus is on the price and timing of the transport service, all stakeholders in such chains should be systematically informed about the level of GHG emissions and energy efficiency so that a higher level of awareness of cargo owners can be ensured to choose sustainable transport and logistics services. The main contribution of the research is an in-depth understanding of the complexity of the transport chains through the ports of the eastern Adriatic from the green transport perspective. Analysed ports as Koper, Rijeka, Bar, and Durres have on the seaside different overseas connections and the land-side different land connections that produce different levels of pollution and consume different levels of energy. At the same time there are commercial and operational differences. The importance of analysing and understanding the operation of green transport chains (GTCs) by the use of developed IT tools is particularly emphasized. Various transport services from Asian ports through four ports on the eastern Adriatic coast are analysed. The analysis includes a comparison of transport times, the cost of total intermodal transport, and the level of pollution with CO2, NOx, SOx, and Non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions. The research study provides a comprehensive and transparent approach to dealing with complex transport chains in the eastern Adriatic region and can serve as an approach for providing proper information to the stakeholders along the entire transport chain. The results reveal the shortcomings of the southern transport route mainly due to poorly developed rail transport, which is also reflected through the low starting basis for the development of GTC regionally. Sažetak Članak naglašava važnost razmatranja modernih transportnih lanaca s točke gledišta zelenoga transporta uz tradicionalan način bavljenja transportnima lancima i onima opskrbe, gdje se žarište stavlja na cijenu i vrijeme transportne usluge u kojoj svi dioničari trebaju biti sustavno informirani o razini emisija stakleničkih plinova i učinkovitosti. Tako se može postići veća razina osviještenosti pri odabiru održivoga transporta i usluga logistike. Glavni doprinos istraživanja jest dubinsko razumijevanje kompleksnosti transportnih lanaca kroz luke istočnoga Jadrana iz perspektive transporta. Analizirane su luke: Koper, Rijeka, Bar i Drač, koje imaju na obali svoje prekomorske i kopnene veze koje proizvode različite razine zagađenja i troše različite razine energije. Istodobno, postoje komercijalne i radne razlike. Važnost analiziranja i razumijevanja rada lanaca zelenoga transporta (GTC) korištenjem razvijenih alata posebno se naglašava. Analiziraju se različite transportne usluge iz azijskih luka kroz četiri luke na istočnome Jadranu. Analiza uključuje usporedbu vremena transporta, trošak ukupnoga intermodalnoga transporta i ...

“…The Montenegrin UNESCO protected site, the Boka Kotorska Bay, was a subject of numerous scientific investigations related to the environmental sustainability of maritime transport (cruise and ferry) in the last decade. The study on the Boka Kotorska Bay in the sense of air pollution implications has been done by Nikolić et al [49]. The quantification of cruise ship exhaust emission at cruising, maneuvering, and hoteling regimes was reported.…”

Maritime transport and sustainable development require a recognizable global approach. The state, as the dominant structure in the world, enables the realization of sustainable maritime transport aims through its instruments. Therefore, it is very significant to consider the national maritime policies because the effective implementation of the global policy is impossible without considering the adequate mechanisms at the state level. The adopted Montenegrin strategic documents impact the institutional framework set-up of the Blue Economy (BE) sectors and potentials for ecologically sustainable maritime transport. Although there are no practical directions for the sustainable use of sea resources, Montenegro is affirmatively oriented to the BE concept. Knowing that Montenegro is in the process of the pre-accessing EU phase, it is of importance to be on the right road to creating a national maritime transport policy including environmental practices, to become part of the strategic implementation of the BE. The paper provides recommendations that can serve for the successful follow-up of the BE activities in Montenegro and the wider area.

“…Computational domain: the black lines define grid borders, the Immersed Boundary Method is used to reproduce the coastline (gray shade) and bathymetry (contour plot) of the fjord.

“…Oil spill simulations are set considering a ship collision that releases a light oil (CPC-BLEND), with density ρ o = 809 kg/m 3 and a pour point of −36°(C), low enough to prevent formation of tars. In Figure 2, the yellow line indicates the ship navigation route as reported in [10], obtained from [11]. The accidents are assumed to happen along the path in Verige Strait, the narrowest region of the bay.…”

A major threat for marine and coastal environment comes from oil spill accidents. Such events have a great impact on both the ecosystem and on the economy, and the risk increases over time due to increasing ship traffic in many sensitive areas. In recent years, numerical simulation of oil spills has become an affordable tool for the analysis of the risk and for the preparation of contingency plans. However, in coastal areas, the complexity of the bathymetry and of the orography requires an adequate resolution of sea and wind flows. For this reason, we present, to the best of the author’s knowledge, the first study on the subject adopting Large Eddy Simulations for both the low-atmosphere and sea dynamics in order to provide highly-resolved marine surface current and wind stress to the oil slick model, within a one-way coupling procedure. Such approach is applied to the relevant case of Kotor Bay (UNESCO heritage since 1979), in Montenegro, which is a semi-closed basin surrounded by mountains that is subject to an intense ship traffic for touristic purposes. Oil spill spots are tracked along ship paths, in two wind scenarios.
