Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maritime activities have been developed in recent years, which has reduced transport costs greatly. Meanwhile, automatic control technologies have involved in port operations much more than last decades. The competitiveness among ports has made hinterlands more overlapped. Thus, maritime transport has become a more practical and sustainable alternative options to original road transport. On the other hand, maritime transportation and port operation result in several environmental impacts, including water pollution, air pollution, carbon footprint, waster, noise pollution, and the reducing of ocean eco diversity.
This Special Issue focuses on concepts, technologies, and policies to improve the port performance and the waterborne transport. Meanwhile, reducing the environmental footprint of maritime transport operations and to protect the marine environment shall also be discussed in the SI. Topics include, but are not strictly limited to, the following:
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Port Economic Management;
- Measures to reduce the environmental footprint of sea transport and port operations;
- Sustainable maritime transport;
- Low-emission vessel;
- Green port operations;
