Small Ports: same obligations as big ports! how to manage, how to finance? Some Strategic Questions Is your small port income big enough to cover all (environmental) port costs? Can costs be reduced by port cooperation? Or by ports sharing knowledge and resources? Are you using a (right) management system? 7

Port Authorities are different: need own environmental management Tools Port Authorities...have limited legal environmental responsibility Piombino, Italy 13
Port Authorities are different: need own environmental management Tools Port Authorities...have limited legal environmental responsibility Only the companies in the port are environmentally liable and need environmental permits Port de Fécamp, France 14
Port Authorities are different: need own environmental management Tools Port Authorities...have limited legal environmental responsibility Only the companies in the port are environmentally liable and need environmental permits But the general public expects the Port Authority to know environmental impact of all companies in their port and to take immediate action if a company spoils the environment Therefore Ports need: a voluntary management system to manage environmental priorities Port Le Tréport, France ECOPORTS TOOLS are developed by ports for ports 15

SPP SDM: Some of the Sustainable Port Policy Topics PORT AND LOGISTICS POLICY Do you have a national governmental port and logistics policy PORT AND LOGISTICS IN SPATIAL PLANS Are existing ports mentioned in the national governmental spatial plan PORT AND LOGISTICS INVESTMENT PROGRAM Do you have a city governmental port and logistics investment program PORT AND LOGISTICS STIMULATION PROGRAM Do you have a regional governmental port and logistics stimulation program 26
Management for sustainable ports and logistics Start cooperation in the chain and become a green chain Do it step by step 27

EXAMPLE FROM PRACTICE Sustainable Ports and Logistics in practice: connect the systems 31
Daily Maersklogistic chain: systems approach conveyor belt on the seas hjdjournee 2012
Logistic Chain: Systems approach: the equipment Maersk: 13.9.2011: from October2011 daily worldwide service with 70 ships between 3 Chinese and 3 European ports Could lead to 50% reduction in stocks of large shippers and up to 500 dollar cost reduction of the total supply chain HJ 2011
Logistic Chain: daily hinterland transport system HJ 2011
A nice example: 1 billion passengers per year! Hub and Spoke Logistics Sustainable (electric)

Suports: Ecoports Tools Workshops first results from 35 small ports (1) Exchange of experience 1. Need to meet colleagues to discuss experience in implementing law in daily port practice 2. No permanent structure available for small ports to exchange good practice solutions Need for Tools 3. Need for tools that support the implementation of practical solutions for environmental priority issues step by step. Example: port security 4. Need for tool that assists in making a sustainable port policy 39
Suports: Ecoports Tools Workshops first results from 35 small ports (2) Lessons from use of ECOPORTS/ECOSLC Tools in Workshops 4. Ecoports and ECOSLC Tools SPP SDM pointed out to be useful to structure discussion on creation of sustainable port management 5. Translation of SDM in national language to be used in workshops was very helpful and necessary to discuss detailed technical environmental issues 6. SDM was very helpful as a checklist of all relevant environmental port issues: it created structure for the small port 7. Meeting in workshops with large, Ecoportscertified, ports improved the results 40
Suports: Ecoports Tools Workshops first results from 35 small ports (3) Port City/Region 8. Environmental effects of transport (noise, safety, emissions) in port, city, region need growing attention Port Exploitation 9. Some environmental issues are seen as critical for the very existence of a small port and need high attention. Example: costs of dredging. Knowledge 10. Knowledge in small ports about some critical elements for functioning need stimulation Examples: 1. cost of dredging 2. practical environmental solutions for dredging within limits of the environmental legislation 3. Role of small port in transport and logistics 4. Environmental liability of small ports in environmental incidents 41

Suports: Ecoports Tools Workshops first results from 35 small ports Preliminary Conclusions 1. Environmental requirements increase in number, become stricter, more complicated, can bring a high risk and become more expensive 2. More specific environmental knowledge and expert personel is needed for solutions 3. Solutions for small ports challenges are needed and...coming up in Europe 4. ECOPORTS and ECOSLC Tools have been helpful as step to create awareness and to introduce a basic sustainable management in small ports 43
