Trends indicate:limitations in port capacity
Amsterdam:
• Limitations in Space for Port Expansion
• Limitations in Environmental room
• Limitations in Accessability (road congestion in Port Cities)
• Limtations in Personnel
Port Strategy of AmsterdamTargets for 2020
1. Economy and jobs
2. Environment
3. Accessability
4. Attractive port
Innovation Port of Amsterdam
No influence of climate Same working conditions as in industryLess packaged material, so less costs Less waste24 hours operation Environmental friendly
Innovation Port of Amsterdam: in house transhipment

CONCLUSIONS
The view of the European CommissionPorts need environmental control (1)
• Ports have to implement more then 40 European environmental laws
• Result is positive!
• Enormous environmental improvements
CITY / HOUSING AREA
PORT and port expansion area
CANALSEA
Examples of European rules to reduce port environmental effects. No easy task for ports to implement!
Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Air Quality Directive
Water Frame Work Directive
Water Frame Work Daughter Directive Motorways of the Sea
Maritime Spatial Planning
Maritime Green Paper
Marpol
Industrial Noise Directive
Waste Directive
Birds and Habitat Directive
EC Seaports Policy
Security rules
Safety rules
Environmental Liability Directive
Communication on Logistics
Action program logistics
The view of the European CommissionPorts need environmental control (2)
Many environmental laws: but……..laws have many negative side effects for ports
• Increased environmental risk
• Increased port planning risk
• Increased financial risk
• Unfair port competition: different implementation of laws in different ports: no level playing field
How to deal with these effects?
The Answer of Ecoports Foundation: port management system
for the laws ánd the side effects
Ecoports Foundation
Environmental Management Systems
for Ports
Developed by Ports
What is EcoPorts? (1)
A network of colleague environmental experts
To exchange experience
With good practice environmental solutions
In ports and the logistic chain

What is EcoPorts? (2)
AimEnvironment: competition neutral (level playing field in sustainability)
StartFirst initiatives: 1993. Foundation since 1999
Founding fathersPorts of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, British Ports Association, Gdansk, Genua, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Rotterdam.
Network350 environmental specialists of
seaports ,inland ports, dry ports, environmental authorities, large industrial companies
Training10 certified trainers, 5 languages
Supported by European Seaports Organization European Inland Ports Federation
Relations with Environmental Protection Agency (USA)
Environment Committee of American Association of Port AuthoritiesUnited Nations Environmental Program
How is Ecoports helping ports
• Exchange of Knowledge from Practice
– from port colleagues: exchange of good practice experience– data base: of good environmental practice solutions– National and international workshops– Yearly International Conference: Greenport - Ecoports
• Introduction of Environmental Management System in Ports
– Port Environmental risk management analysis: the Self Diagnosis Method: SDM– Port Environmental Review System: PERS– Port environmental certificate: the PERS certificate
Port Environmental Management System Certificate
(ISO based, audited by independent auditor Lloyds Register)
STEP 1.Identify Environmental Priorities and Risks
SDM: environmental selfdiagnosis method
STEP 2.Find and implement a solution
Use the EcoPorts network: seminars, workshops, conference, database
STEP 3.Monitor improvements
Key performance indicators, yearly report
STEP 4.Demonstrate your basic environmental competence
PERS (port environmental review system) certificate
Example: Port of Cork (Ireland, Europe)
Port of Cork has an Ecoports PERS certificate

EMS Benefits• Focused strategy to
environmental management
• Improved environmental performance (e.g. energy & waste)
• Demonstrate commitment to the environment & reduces liability risk
• Reduce operating costs
• Provide market advantage
• Credibility with clients and partners
• Enhance image and reputation
• Improve staff morale & commitment
• Maintain Positive community relations
• Provide a healthier work environment

Priority Issue: Air QualityTarget:Reduction ofCO2SOxNOx
EspeciallySEA SHIP EMISSIONS
TOP ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUEREDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF GOODS TRANSPORT
The ChallengeReduction of environmental impact of transport
Especially in Congested Port City Regions
Solution?
A Solution forReduction of environmental impact of transport
Especially in Congested Port City Regions
Solution!Stimulate Rail + Inland Barge
Improving Logistics and Environment go together
Improved quality of transport logistics
Creates also
Improved quality of the environment
New Laws introduce Improved Logistic Systems
Examples of certification of logistic chains
• Security in ports and the chain
• Quality of Customs in the logistic chain: Green Lane (AEO) conceptAuthorised Economic Operator
• Food Safety in the logistic chain
• Environmental Liability lawsCUSTOMS
Port security
How to realise solutions?
Ports must play an active role!
Active role of Ports Examples new logistic systems
Target: Cost effective + Environmentally effective
Special priority: Solutions for Road Congestion in Port City Regions
Innovative solutions by Ports
• Amsterdam (Seaport, The Netherlands)– AMSbarge: from road to water
• Antwerp (Seaport, Belgium)– From road to water: more then 80 Seaport related transhipment points outside Port City region in
Canal to Port of Antwerp
• Lille (inland port, France)– Municipal waste transport from road to water
• Los Angeles (Seaport, USA)– Diesel engines improvement program, trucks and tugs
• Rotterdam (Seaport, The Netherlands)– Container assembling area (transferia) outside Port City region (transhipment from truck to ship),
ship-shuttles between transferia and Port-City

CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
1. Environmental Limitations in functioning port ask for a change in port strategy
Limitations in• Space for Port Expansion• Environmental room• AccessabilityPersonnel
2. Port management broadens its scope• from port area to port and the logistic chain• from environment to sustainability• to an active development of sustainable port/chain solutions (where the market does not
deliver)
3. Additional types of management introduced• Capacity Management• Chain Management• Knowledge management• Perception management• Liability Management• Risk management• Stakeholder (cooperation) management
