The 1990s will see new and more structured approaches to environmental management as ports. Part of the impetus, in western Europe at least, will be due to the fact that port managers may be personally liable to prosecution as a result of environmental damage. But the new approach has more creditworthy antecedants than this. It stems from a much loftier goal of saving the planet through the introduction of sustainable development and better, more integrated methods of environmental planning and management. This paper attempts to summarize the processes by which port objectives relate to this basic aim. It considers new legislation in Europe and some methodologies that are evolving towards better management. The global aspects are referred to first followed by the port dimensions.
