In 2030 Rotterdam is Europe’s most important port and industrial complex. It is a powerful combination of the Global Hub and Europe’s Industial Cluster, both of which lead in the field in terms of efficiency and sustainability. In 2030 the Port of Rotterdam is a link in logistics chains with the lowest ecological footprint per ton-kilometre in the world.

FOE Netherlands wants mega courtcase against Maasvlakte 2
It asks thousands of Rotterdam citizens to join a legal procedure against the construction of the port expansion Maasvlakte 2 and asks them to donate money to FOE Netherlands to pay for the cost of the legal procedure
Environmental Ship Index
• Aims to accelerate the greening of ships
• Incenticizes behavioural change
• Priority with reducing airquality pollutant emissions
• Performance indicator developed in corporation internationally
• Credits can be scored for cleaner fuels and cleaner engines and a
carbon management
• 0 points when compliance to law, 100 point when zero-emissions and
carbon management plan
• Web-based, free for use and internationally applicable

Green Port theme’s
• Spatial planning port and surrounding area
• Transport modalities
• Information infrastructure
• Environmental quality (water, soil, air, dredged material, noise
etc.)
• Climate change (mitigation and adaptation)
• Nature, biodiversity, landscape and quality of life
Spatial plan port and surrounding area
• Coordinate future vision with and have it approved by the
relevant Stakeholders
• Co-plan and coordinate hinterland strategy with competitive
ports in the same hinterland
• Connect and integrate other spatial claims and opt for win-win
• Develop an adaptive Masterplan
Actions Green Port Manager
Integration I-complexes Rotterdam-Antwerp
Port Vision 2030: Europe’s Industrial Cluster
Challenges Green port for air quality
• Management of environmental space (NOx, SOx, fine dust)
• Perception of inhabitants
• Impact on nearby nature conservation sites
• Chances for synergy (logistics and industrial cluster)
• Facilitate development within improving environmental quality
2010 – 2023
NOx < 59 %
SOx < 92 %
Fine dust < 77 %
Example:

Actions Green Port Manager
• Define and manage an acceptable environmental footprint in
agreement with the stakeholders
• Agree on the scope (area, pollutants, logistic chains/activities)
• Anticipate on future regulations and invest in the future
(attract frontrunners/first movers)
Airquality
Potential roles of the Port Authorities
• Area-manager
• Estate owner
• Facilitator of/key player in the logistic chain
• Port administrators
• Regulators and enforcing agents
• Developers and managers of infrastructure
• Operators
• Nodal points of knowledge on ports and environment
• Facilitators for innovation
• Partner in the community
Roles of the other players
• Governmental organisations: recognise, facilitate and
follow-up with legislation)
• Banks: awareness and development of green finance deals
• Consultants and contractors: apply new design principles
like Ecodesign and Building with Nature
• NGO’s: stimulate and inspire
• Knowledge providers (universities and knowlegde
institutes) support the challenge with new knowledge and
pilots.

Definition of a Sustainable Port
“A sustainable port is one in which the port authority together with port users, proactively and responsibly develops and operates, based on an economic green growth strategy, on the working with nature philosophy and on stakeholder participation, starting from a long term vision on the area in which it is located and from its privileged position within the logistic chain, thus assuring development that anticipates on the needs of future generations, for their own benefit and the prosperity of the region that it serves.”
WG150 Conclusions (draft) (1)
1. The role of Port Authorities changes from re-active
landlord to pro-active partner in the development of
the region and of the logistic chain.
2. Co-operation with stakeholders in port development
&-operation
3. A Sustainable Port develops in harmony with its
environment to match limited and decreasing
environmental space and resources
4. Sustainable ports follow a new growth paradigm that is
truly sustainable with green growth as an economic
driver
WG150 Conclusions (draft) (2)
5. Ports take up technological and societal
developments to facilitate the transition towards
green growth
6. Ports are in a unique and privileged position in
the global logistic chain to capture and evolve
their roles to initiate and consolidate the needed
change, for their own benefit and the prosperity of
the region that it serves
7. Sustainable port development is based on a long
term proactive vision irrespective of actual
regulations
