Toward decarbonization of entire maritime transport chain, it is important to develop not only greener ships but also port and maritime logistics systems that work with alternative energy sources providing significant environmental and economic benefits. Ports are essential energy consumers and one of the key elements of the maritime transport chain. The green port concept, on the other hand, is an approach aiming to minimize fossil fuel consumption to reach more environmentally friendly and economically sustainable port operations. The aim of this chapter is to investigate different perspectives on how to make sustainability assessment in ports. The chapter defines a green port development model by evaluating new green technologies, low or zero-carbon alternative terminal equipment, and other energy-consuming components of ports. To achieve these aims, environmentally friendly green port applications in all forms are being reviewed on a global scale. In green port applications, issues such as energy conservation, air pollution, water pollution, hazardous substances management, and habitat are specially pointed out due to their direct relevancy with port operations. This chapter reveals the contribution of green port practices to energy efficiency, environmental protection, and sustainable industrial and regional development. The chapter also draws attention to the importance of environmental awareness in ports, especially located in or nearby urban areas.
