Abstract

Seaports are the link between countries through maritime transport networks all over the world. They also promote international trade and support global economic growth. However, it represents a source of environmental pollution through emissions to air and water pollutants from maritime transport activities and is also linked to climate changes, energy consumption and noise generated, which entails many challenges faced by decision makers on how to address the effects of environmental risks associated with ports environmentally, economically and socially. Therefore, the concept of green ports can help decision-makers to address the expected challenges and problems, as the green concept mainly presents three aspects of operations within ports and development planning, including energy conservation, environmental protection and care.  The idea of seeking to use the concept of green ports to address the extent to which potential environmental threats to Egypt's marine environment have worsened by applying to the port of Damietta, which is an ongoing challenge for future generations and has multiple impacts on our social, cultural and economic values as well as on our natural and physical environment. That is why the importance of this study came to work on trying to employ the concept of green ports to face the extent of the exacerbation of the impact of potential environmental threats to ports, which represents a continuous challenge for current and future generations and has multiple effects on our society, cultural and economic values, as well as on our natural and physical environment. The port of Damietta was chosen as a case study to apply the concept of green ports to it, due to its importance for the local and international trade.
