Abstract:

 Green ports are important elements that enable the development of the urban economy and the implementation of sustainable environmental strategies. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the potential of ports operating in Turkey to obtain green port certification. For this purpose, using data from the sector reports, the ports with the highest regional container handling amounts TEU and without green port certification were selected as the alternatives of the study. The criteria of the study were determined within the framework of comprehensive literature research and the opinion suggestions of experts. Analytic Network Process ANP - Benefit, Opportunity, Cost, Risk BOCR approach, which is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making MCDM technique, was utilized to solve the problem. Accordingly, the criterion with the highest impact on green port certification is reducing air pollution 0.049, while the criteria with the least impact are the use of cold ironing and ship speed reduction technology 0.015 and no penalty pricing in port fees 0.015. Mersin International Port 0.055 was determined as the alternative with the highest potential to be certified as a green port.

 Yeşil limanlar, kentsel ekonominin gelişmesine ve sürdürülebilir çevresel stratejilerin uygulanmasına imkân sağlayan önemli unsurlardandır. Bu araştırmada, Türkiyede faaliyet gerçekleştiren limanların yeşil liman sertifikasına sahip olma potansiyellerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda sektör raporlarında yer alan veriler çerçevesinde bölgesel anlamda konteyner elleçleme miktarı TEU en fazla olup yeşil liman sertifikasyonu olmayan limanlar çalışmanın alternatiflerini oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın kriterleri ise kapsamlı bir literatür araştırması ve uzmanların görüş önerileri çerçevesinde belirlenmiştir. Problemin çözümünde ise bir Çok Kriterli Karar Verme ÇKKV tekniği olan Analitik Ağ Süreci ANP- Fayda, Fırsat, Maliyet, Risk BOCR yaklaşımından faydalanılmıştır. Buna göre yeşil liman sertifikasyonu sahipliğinde en fazla etkiye sahip olan kriter hava kirliliğini azaltmak 0,049 olmuş iken, en az etkiye sahip kriterler ise soğuk ütüleme ve gemi hızı düşürme teknolojisi kullanılması 0,015 ile liman ücretlerinde ceza fiyatlandırması yapılmaması 0,015 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Mersin International Port 0,055 ise yeşil liman sertifikasına sahip olma potansiyeli en yüksek alternatif olarak belirlenmiştir.
