Abstract

The concept of “green port” reflects ecological practices aimed at protecting the environment during port activities. Green port practices are a long-term strategic approach in terms of ensuring the environmental sustainability of a port. The study focuses on the environmental dimension of sustainability, which is a popular concept today. By conducting a literature search on the green port strategy, important indicators were determined, and it was aimed to analyze these indicators. As a result of the study, important indicators such as air quality, climate change energy efficiency, noise pollution, relations with the local community, water quality and ship waste, dredging operations and port development, and garbage/port wastes have been reached
