Environmental Management of the Logistic Chain. Concepts and Perspectives
The interaction between transport systems and the environment, and the significance of modal choices are investigated in this chapter. Taking a European perspective, the extent to which policies of environmental protection are actually implemented is discussed with regard to the European transport system. In addition, the responses of the major players and operators in intermodal transport chains as they face the challenge of sustainable chain operation are identified. This includes related policies, recent initiatives, and examples of good practice. Finally, the focus is centered on the role of the major logistic nodes operators with special reference to seaports.
