Sustainable transport and sustainable freight transport sector are among the world's most important contemporary challenges. Additionally, it is a top priority for Egypt's sustainable growth. East and West Port Said ports on the Suez Canal are considered a gateway of utmost importance for linking Egypt with the rest of the world's ports. The research aims to investigate implementing the green logistic transport approach in these ports to keep pace with the green logistic development in most of the world's ports, close the gap between Egyptian ports and global sustainable ports, develop sustainable and integrated logistics transport plan to link the two Ports: Part I of the research addresses the concept of green logistic transport reviews its components and its social, environmental, and economic benefits, and monitors Egypt's current situation in the sustainable transport and freight development field. Part II focuses on studying the global and local experiences that have addressed the application of the green logistic transport approach and establishes the lessons learned that will be applied to the case study. Part III focuses on applying the approach to the ports and creating an integrated plan. The implementation of the Green Logistic Transport Approach is based on several successive operations: (1) Container Access and Handling, (2) Operation Maritime Movement, (3) The process of movement on the railway, and (4) Distribution Centers Operation. The research finally suggests overcoming implementation challenges Egypt faced, as well as lessons learned to improve the adoption of the strategy in all Egyptian ports going forward.

This article discusses the impact of rail market liberalization on the energy intensity of rail in relation to the export of goods, as well as the identification of multidimensional cause-and-effect relationships between rail energy intensity and the importing country’s economic condition, transport performance, and transport distance. Three research questions were formulated: (1) Does the liberalization of the EU transport market and the implementation of a sustainable transport policy contribute to minimizing the energy consumption of rail transport? (2) Does the pursuit of economic growth allow for reducing the energy intensity of goods exported by rail transport in global trade? (3) Is there a justified paradigm for shifting long-distance freight transport from roads to rail? This study concerned 21 directions of the export of goods transported by rail from Poland to partner countries (worldwide) in 2010–2020. A panel model of rail transport energy consumption with random effects was constructed. As a result of rail market liberalization, the export of goods transported by rail across great distances occurs without harming economic development and leads to a reduction in energy intensity. On this basis, key strategies were formulated to promote rail transport in reducing the energy intensity of the transport sector. The authors filled the research gap by identifying the relationship between the energy intensity of exports of goods by rail transport in value terms, depending on the European transport market’s liberalization process, the importing countries’ economic situation, transport volume, and distance. The presented approach is innovative and can be adapted to the analysis of other modes of transport, including road transport, and other countries (and their structure and export directions).
