“…As variáveis consideradas essenciais para a geração do índice sintético são definidas a partir das informações e dados contidos nos relatórios de sustentabilidade de um sistema portuário. Hua et al (2020) sugerem um sistema de indicador de porto verde feito sob medida para o porto de Zhuhai e, em seguida, usa o método de análise de desempenho de importância difusa para determinar o desempenho do porto de Zhuhai, em indicadores de porto verde, antes de propor uma governança estratégica. O estudo mostra que o porto de Zhuhai deve monitorar o consumo de energia e das emissões de poluentes, investir em inovação e tecnologias visando promover operações portuárias verde (green).…”

As operações portuárias promovem uma alta emissão de gases de efeito estufa, poluição sonora, material particulado e gera resíduos sólido e líquidos. Estes elementos, denigrem o meio ambiente e se não houver um sistema de gestão ambiental bem definido, o meio ambiente, o entorno e a cidade onde o porto está localizado, sofrerão graves consequências. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a gestão ambiental portuária de 14 terminais portuários europeus, através de visitas técnicas in loco e aplicação de um questionário online, ambos fundamentados no sistema de Auto-Diagnóstico, definido pelo EcoPorts, que é um padrão internacional de boas práticas ambientais portuárias, para os portos que tem como meta uma certificação ambiental internacional (green operations). Os portos selecionados na pesquisa, fazem parte do sistema de corredores verdes europeus implantados na Comunidade Europeia, com foco no sistema logístico sustentável. O estudo mostra que os terminais portuários que implantaram o sistema de boas práticas definido pelo Auto-Diagnóstico do EcoPorts europeu, conseguiram obter a certificação internacional de gestão ambiental (green operations) ou estão em fase final de obtenção.

“…Since the state urged the construction of ecotypic ports, changing the spatial distance between ports and cities has become an important measure for many coastal cities to develop ecotypic ports for sustainable development. For example, the Huangpu River Port of Shanghai Port has been largely relocated to Waigaoqiao Port Area and Yangshan Deep-water Port Area; the up-scaling transportation in the north main port area of Tianjin Port has seriously disrupted the green and livable urban construction of Binhai New Area, which leads to the current planning of adjustment and relocation of the port area; Xiamen Dongdu Port Area has transformed some multi-purpose terminals to cruise berths and is planning to move the freight function to out of the island; Ningbo Beilun Port also intends to gradually transfer bulks transshipment operations to Chuanshan Port Area and Majishan Port Area, which are farther away from the city [1,3,6]. Some scholars have tried to evaluate the impact of port-city separation in recent years, but most of them ended up with qualitative descriptions, lacking quantitative research on the changes of factors such as resource consumption, environmental protection, and integrated transport costs that arise from port-city separation.…”

With the economic globalization continuing to advance, coastal port cities have enjoyed increasingly prominent status and roles as the link between the sea and the land and an important window of foreign trade and exchanges. However, port cities, while embracing rapid development, have also produced a significant impact on natural resources and the ecological environment. Ecological environment protection has become a must-consider factor for sustainable development of port cities. To secure coordinated and sustainable development of ports and cities, this paper utilizes the system dynamics theory and approaches the subject from driver analysis. In the traditional port-city collaboration system model, indicators of ecological perspectives such as land resources and environmental protection are introduced to build a dynamic model for the spatial evolution system of port-city coupling system based on ecological protection, and the dynamic mechanism of port-city spatial relation evolution is analyzed in depth with a case study of Dongdu Port Area of Xiamen Port. The model’s simulation results show that from an ecological perspective, the spatial distance between the port and the city is critical to their sustainable and coordinated development. Only after the port-city spatial distance increases moderately can the development efficiency of the port-city system welcomes a relatively significant increase. Managing the port-city distance well has a significant driving effect on capacity enhancement of the port and economic development of the city. This provides a theoretical reference for further studies on port-city coordinated and sustainable development and provides constructive suggestions for the government to make relevant decisions.

“…However, maritime transport has always faced environmental pollution, transportation efficiency, navigation safety and other issues (Chen et al, 2019a(Chen et al, , 2019b. In order to solve or relieve the negative consequences of these issues, researchers and engineers have been continuously developing new techniques and methods for years (Bell and Meng, 2016;Hua et al, 2020). With the development of e-Navigation, SMART-Navigation and intelligent navigation, the microscopic behavioural characteristics of ships and their influences on the whole marine traffic system are becoming a research hotspot, especially in the area of ports, waterways and other congested areas.…”

In busy waterways, spatial-temporal discretisation, safe distance and collision avoidance timing are three of the core components of ship traffic flow modelling based on cellular automata. However, these components are difficult to determine in ship traffic simulations because the size, operation and manoeuvrability vary between ships. To solve these problems, a novel traffic flow model is proposed. Firstly, a spatial-temporal discretisation method based on the concept of a standard ship is presented. Secondly, the update rules for ships’ motion are built by considering safe distance and collision avoidance timing, in which ship operation and manoeuvrability are thoroughly considered. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, which is implemented through simulating ship traffic flow in a waterway of the Yangtze River, China. By comparing the results with actual observed ship traffic data, our model shows that the behaviours and the characteristics of ships’ motions can be represented very well, which also can be further used to reveal the mechanism that affects the efficiency and safety of ship traffic.
