Abstract

Sustainable transport and sustainable freight transport sector are among the world's most important contemporary challenges. Additionally, it is a top priority for Egypt's sustainable growth. East and West Port Said ports on the Suez Canal are considered a gateway of utmost importance for linking Egypt with the rest of the world's ports. The research aims to investigate implementing the green logistic transport approach in these ports to keep pace with the green logistic development in most of the world's ports, close the gap between Egyptian ports and global sustainable ports, develop sustainable and integrated logistics transport plan to link the two Ports: Part I of the research addresses the concept of green logistic transport reviews its components and its social, environmental, and economic benefits, and monitors Egypt's current situation in the sustainable transport and freight development field. Part II focuses on studying the global and local experiences that have addressed the application of the green logistic transport approach and establishes the lessons learned that will be applied to the case study. Part III focuses on applying the approach to the ports and creating an integrated plan. The implementation of the Green Logistic Transport Approach is based on several successive operations: (1) Container Access and Handling, (2) Operation Maritime Movement, (3) The process of movement on the railway, and (4) Distribution Centers Operation. The research finally suggests overcoming implementation challenges Egypt faced, as well as lessons learned to improve the adoption of the strategy in all Egyptian ports going forward
