“…Other studies have investigated carbon emissions per passenger-kilometer, as well as the burning of oil (especially heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil) from international vessels regarding the emission of CO 2 , SO 2 , NO x , and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere [62,[68][69][70][71][72].…”

Abstract:In the last 30 years, environmental sustainability has been receiving increasing attention by scholars and operators. All the seaport stakeholders, including port authorities (PAs), policy-makers, port users, any port stakeholders, and local communities, must invest substantial resources to achieve high competitiveness with respect of the environment. Drawing from the extant regulations system and conducting a deep review of the main contributions on the phenomenon, this conceptual study suggests managerial accounting instruments and training, which are still under-researched, as effective measures for enforcing and encouraging green port development. This three-step study consists of a systematic review of the regulatory frameworks and literature on the phenomenon, and an outline of the gap of the legislative framework and research, from a management innovation perspective, where effective managerial practices for environmental sustainability are not successfully suggested and implemented within seaports. On the one hand, the Balanced Scorecard and Tableau de Bord are identified and proposed as managerial accounting instruments for assessing, monitoring, measuring, controlling, and reporting the organizational processes of port players, mainly PAs, for developing competitive green ports. On the other hand, training has been suggested to educate and guide the human resources at all organizational levels within seaports, for supporting and developing awareness and behavioral attitudes in the direction of environmental sustainability.

“…Utilizing renewable energy at ports will help reduce ship emissions and make them more environment friendly. The reduction in dock power supply significantly reduces dangerous port conditions due to power line maintenance problems [7]. According to the European Commission recommendations, the main European ports are preparing to install this technology, especially for port areas with high GHG emissions [8,9].…”

“…Generally, these methods are used to estimate the fuel consumption and emissions of main and axillary engines of large marine vessels with long voyages and several route options. In this context, recognized values of SFOC and emissions factors are essential to estimate the fuel consumption and emissions [47]. Under those circumstances, the traffic emissions assessment model (STEAM2) is used to estimate emissions and fuel consumption of a ship's main and axillary engine [43].…”

Abstract-The integration of more-electric technologies, such as energy storage systems (ESSs) and electric propulsion, has gained attention in recent years as a promising approach to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in the maritime industry. In this context, hybrid power systems (HPSs) with direct current (DC) distribution are currently gaining a commendable interest in research and industrial applications. This paper examines the impact of using HPS with DC distribution and a battery energy storage system (BESS) over a conventional AC power system for short haul roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ferries. An electric ferry with a HPS is modeled in this study and the power management system is simulated using the Matlab/Simulink software. The result is validated using measured load profile of a ferry. The performance of the DC HPS is compared with the conventional AC system based on fuel consumption and emission reductions. An approach to estimate the fuel consumption of the diesel engine through calculation of specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) is also presented. This study uses two optimization techniques: a classical power management method namely Rule-Based control (RB) and a meta-heuristic power management method known as Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) to optimally manage the power sharing of the proposed HPS. Fuel consumption and emission indicators are also used to assess the performance of the two power management methods. The simulation results show that the HPS provides a 2.91 % and 7.48 % fuel consumption reduction using RB method and GWO method respectively. It is apparent from the result that the HPS has more fuel savings while running the diesel generator sets (DGs) at higher operational efficiency. It is interesting that the proposed HPS using both power management methods provided a 100 % emission reduction at berth. Finally, it was found that using a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm provides better fuel and emission reductions than a classical method.Keywords-Battery, DC power system, electric ferry, energy storage system, hybrid power system, power management.
