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.
