Title: A Practical Guide for a Sustainable Seaport

Increasing environmental awareness create new challenges for the development of ports. Green Ports are widely regarded as ?the answer? to these challenges.

There is a need for a step forward towards an integrated approach in which all separate measures, including climate change adaptation and mitigation measures, are merged into the concept of a single package: the Green Port.
