Green Efforts: Green and Effective Operations at Terminals and in Ports. Recommendations Manual for Terminals
The Green Efforts project, co-funded by the European Commission, aimed at making terminals and ports a better place to work and to live with. The majority of the project work aimed at container terminals as these are the biggest representatives of the industry with the highest energy consumption. The Green Efforts project delivered a comprehensive overview of opportunities to achieve improved energy-efficiency and provided a useful platform to focus further research according to industrial needs, available solutions and political objectives. This report is a compilation of the project deliverables and serves as a navigation tool to identify areas of interest. Green Efforts recommends the European terminal industry raise the level of pre-competitiveness and increase data exchange. A data bank collecting all operational experiences would immediately multiply the development speed. It also would support joint working groups to negotiate the course of future development with the equipment manufacturers to lead both parties to a win-win result.
