The relationship between ports and energy markets is undergoing a transition in their functions as suppliers, consumers, processors. Environmental factors increasingly force the maritime sector to reduce its carbon footprint improve efficiency. Governing sector’s environmental performance requires leveling decarbonization through integration with supply chains rethinking green strategies sustainability. This paper highlights that port’s management system can be an example of supply–demand equalizing sustainable alternative sources. Such systems engage more profoundly within value chain by assessing indicators port operations, strategies, investments. manuscript investigates challenges ports’ investments, considering decarbonization. Therefore, this research conducted qualitative study on efficiency greening using in-depth interview method three seaports Adriatic, Baltic, Black Sea basins. proposes framework for analyzing variables investments performance. examines set variables, researching cause-and-effect relationship, enabling testing evaluation determined relationships, identifying asynchrony balanced development

In liner shipping, stakeholders are increasingly committed to adopting autonomous and environmentally friendly transportation solutions, especially for truck operations managing container transfers. Beyond reducing labor costs, platooning technology—which enables trucks operate in close formations, thereby significantly decreasing fuel consumption—promises revolutionize fleets involved maritime transport. However, the potential of these benefits hinges on process developing implementing optimization plans that address specific challenges logistics, particularly integrating plans. response this need, study extends traditional instant-dispatch strategy by proposing a novel, data-driven dispatch strategy. We develop algorithms both models conduct extensive experiments focusing sea freight containers. Our findings reveal significant advantages strategy: it substantially reduces total costs consumption associated with deliveries compared

Abstract In response to pressing global challenges, sustainability transitions research has emerged as an interdisciplinary field focused on fundamental changes, necessitating novel approaches for strategy-making from and innovation. Foresight practitioners need extend their well-established methodological toolkit, which can inform subsequent planning processes about managing conflicts shaping futures, include the articulation of options contributing creation more sustainable future systems. This aims contribute this by exploring characterized discrepancies. Drawing Responsible Research Innovation (RRI) literature understand discrepancies between “desirability” “probability” missed opportunities secure social desirability in or threats it, argues collective identification anticipation reflect making responsive strategies. Thus, informed RRI, a Delphi exercise was modified engage experts German agri-food sector ( n = 21) assess divergent innovation-driven changes that had been collectively anticipated reflected upon beforehand.
