“…In terms of its wider impact for the maritime industry, researchers have noted that the adoption of autonomous shipping has the potential of addressing several humanitarian challenges the industry currently faces—such as crew change, stranded seafarers under pandemic situation, and the long-standing welfare issues of seagoing personnel (Kim et al 2019 ). The adoption of remotely controlled and autonomous operational concept with shore-based ship monitoring and control has additional potential to bring societal values to increase the attractiveness of seafaring professions by moving bridge officers from the remote and hazardous working condition to a shore-based office environment.…”

“…Since there are no standard methods for developing categories (taxonomies) of actions and measures; previous studies followed different approaches (e.g., an exploratory review of green port measures (Lam and Notteboom 2014 ), a systematic review of technologies and tools of port sustainability (Bjerkan and Seter 2019 ), a systematic literature review of ports’ GHG emission reduction measures (Alamoush et al 2020 , 2021b ), and qualitative thematic analysis to build topologies of barriers to the female gender in shipping (Kim et al 2019 ), among others). In this research we utilise the critical literature review based on guidelines in (Grant and Booth 2009 ; MacInnis 2011 ; Snyder 2019 ; Jaakkola 2020 ).…”

Revisiting port sustainability as a foundation for the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)

Port sustainability studies are increasing rapidly and are skewed toward environmental aspects, while at the same time their results are fragmented, making it difficult to collectively assess conclusions. This study, therefore, aims at building a framework which categorises port actions, measures, and implementation schemes (policy tools to improve the uptake), utilising the critical literature review method. Additionally, linkage of port sustainability to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) is highlighted. Port sustainability includes internal (port side) and external (ships and land transport) actions and measures. The study results form 16 homogeneous and interconnected sustainability categories, including a non-exhaustive list of operationalising measures, encompassing the three dimensions of sustainability (environment, economy and society) while implementation schemes are divided into four groups. Considering that ports are under scrutiny and perceiving growing pressure to improve their sustainable pathways, for example by addressing climate change and energy consumption, the identified ports’ sustainability actions and measures, including the linkage with the UN SDGs, are overarching and multidimensional and seen as a step in achieving far-reaching sustainable implementation. The study’s practical implications guide port policymakers and industry practitioners to go beyond the low hanging fruit (customary practices), and enable them to take reliable decisions for broader sustainability implementation. Additionally, the identified research implications stimulate further academic discussions.

Evaluation of Gender Equality Criteria Related to Social Sustainability in Ports

Ports are developing sustainability frameworks in order to cope with latest requirements from the stakeholders. Economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability are the three pillars of the topic. Although economic and environmental aspects of sustainability in ports are widely researched in the literature, the social dimension of gender equality research is scarce. To fill the gap, it is important to identify the most important efforts for improving gender equality in ports. The aim of this study is to evaluate the gender equality criterias by port executives in terms of social sustainability. For this purpose, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) was used to evaluate the priority weights of five criterias in Turkey. The results show that recruitment policy is the most important criteria in the field. Therefore, some suggestions are made to port industry to become more socially sustainable by minimizing the gender gap.
