European port trends on environmental issues
Puig M., Raptis S., Wooldridge C., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper presents the current environmental performance of the European Port Sector, based on the 2018 results of a wide representation of EcoPorts members (90 ports).
All the information presented in this research comes from aggregate data of the Self-Diagnosis Method (SDM), a concise...Read more

European environmental compulsory framework on shipping and ports
(Corresponding) KOTRIKLA A., Andrea V., Nikitakos N., Stylios C.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
The European Maritime transport policy has embraced important environmental protection schemes that are directly or indirectly connected to shipping and port performance. A comprehensive database on the European Union (EU) environmental policy for the last 30 years has been attempted concerning...Read more

Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper presents the results of research conducted in collaboration with 97 ESPO EcoPorts members that completed the Self-Diagnosis Method (SDM), most of them members of the EU TEN-T network. SDM is a concise checklist against which ports can self-assess their environmental management...Read more

Integrating Seaport Infrastructure Monitoring Approaches to Improve Smartness and Climate Adaptive Capacity
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Sartampakos P., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in an attempt to deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or with...Read more
Numerical Modelling of Wave Reflection from Port Structures for Reliable Forecasting of Berth Downtime
(Corresponding) Chondros M., Malliouri D., Metallinos A., Papadimitriou A., Karambas T., Makris C., Baltikas V., Kontos Y., Nagkoulis N., Androulidakis Y., Klonaris G., Tsoukala V., Memos C.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Forecast of wave agitation inside port basins and consequent downtime of berth positions are of utmost importance to make a port “smarter” by efficiently managing its infrastructure. Within Accu-Waves project (http://accuwaves.eu), a decision-making tool is being developed to provide forecast data...Read more

Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more
