Future of Ports: Towards Green and Decarbonized Ports

Port Environmental Management

Port environmental risks and concerns The relationship between ports and environmental risks can be categorised into 4 broad areas: Climate Change Rising temperature Sea Level Rise Extreme Weather Conditions Air Pollution GHG emissions from marine and inland systems Air pollutants Air quality and odour Marine,Water and Soil Pollution Biodiversity, water environment and land quality Waste management Pollution from marine and land base sources Other Environmental Risks and Factors Noise Landscape and visual impact Historical environment Community and social impacts Traffic impacts and transport network users

Port Environmental Management Climate Change

Risk factor Implications on Ports Hot days and heat waves Melting ice (for frozen winters) Large variations Frequent freeze and thaw cycles Changes in water chemistry SLR Extreme weather events Challenges to port development and operating practices Increased maintenance costs, e.g. for dredging, upgrade, retrofitting, etc. Increased energy use; e.g. for refrigerated storage Disruptions to service and operational reliability Route diversions and loss of competitivity and market share Socio-economic, environmental and political implications Longer shipping season (NSR), new sea routes ( e.g. NWP) Need for new or adapted support services, e.g. SAR, AtoNs, ice-breaking, etc. Climate change risks and impacts- rising temperature Source: NOAA Source: IPCC

Climate change risks and impacts- Sea Level Rise Risk factor Implications on Ports MSL Flooding and inundation Erosion of coastal areas Storm surges Land subsidence Relocation, redesign and construction of port/coastal infrastructure Asset protection schemes (e.g. levees, seawalls, dikes, infrastructure elevation) Asset Insurance, risk and management practices Operational and service disruptions Reduction or avoidance of development/settlement in port and surrounding areas Provision for evacuation routes and operational plans Source: Frederikse et al. (2020) from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/PO.DAAC

Risk factor Direct Impacts on Ports Tsunamis Damage to infrastructure, utilities, superstructure, vehicles and cargo Hurricanes Erosion, sedimentation, subsidence and landslide Storm surge Operational disruptions, reduced visibility and service reliability Precipitation & rainfall Need for emergency evacuations and management Strong Winds and fogs Need for asset protection schemes (e.g. levees, seawalls, dikes, infrastructure elevation) MSL, tide and waves Increased asset insurance premium, adaptation and mitigation costs Climate change risks and impacts- Extreme weather events Source: Munich Re, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE. As of March 2019 Weather related natural catastrophes

Climate change planning and adaptation Stages in the climate adaptation planning process (PIANC, 2020)

Example 1: Port Expansion in Poland 15 Key climate risks: Changes in sea ice (positive) Sea level rise Changes in rainfall intensity Changes in wave conditions Adaptation measures adopted : Quayside structures designed to cope with sea level rise of approximately 6-10mm per year over the next 100 years Communication channel established with the Port Authority to receive relevant information about sea level extremes and wave overtopping of port structures

Example 2: New Port Facility in Morocco Key climate risks: Sea level rise Increased storminess Increased extreme heat events Adaptation measures adopted : Analyse breakwater design taking into account expected sea-level rise over the design life of the Port installation of surfacing, mechanical and electrical equipment designed to withstand projected temperature extremes (>40 degrees C) Installation of surface drainage design able to cope with extreme rainfall and overtopping events Installation of storage facilities able to withstand extreme temperatures and extreme weather events Adoption of Emergency Response Plan and Coastal Erosion Monitoring Scheme 16

Scaling up action on climate resilient ports in Morocco Emerging partnerships to rise to this challenge: PIANC Working Group 178 on Climate Change Adaptation for Ports and Navigation Infrastructure Moroccan port authorities will be supported to benefit from emerging PIANC guidance GEF Special Climate Change Fund has awarded USD 6 million grant resources to co-finance innovative investment in port sector climate resilient upgrades in Morocco ‘ la houle exceptionelle ’ of January 2014 has raised awareness of climate risks to port infrastructure in Morocco

Port Environmental Management Emissions and Air Pollution

Emissions, energy use and air pollution in ports Sources of emissions and air pollution in ports may be categorised under7 broad areas: Sulphur and exhaust emissions from ships calling at the port Ship GHG emissions (CO2, NOx, PM, Methane, etc.); Emissions and energy use from port buildings and facilities Emissions from cargo handling and operational use Emissions from port crafts / vessels Emissions from hinterland distribution and traffic congestion Air pollution from port development and operations (dust, fumes, vaporisation, chemicals, etc.)

Main emissions of concern Nitrogen Oxides (NOx):. Particulate Matters (PM): Sulphur Oxides (SOx): VOC (Vloatile Organic Compounds) - Some ports Some carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons

Port Emissions and Air Pollution Ship Related Emissions

Ship emissions in ports Ship emissions at berth: Main engines turned off (with exceptions) Fuel consumption from Auxiliary engines (loads depending on ship specs) Fuel consumption from Auxiliary boilers (loads depend on Main engine requirements) On cold ironing, only boilers operate Ship emissions at berth is also influence by port and berth characteristics, handling configurations, bunkering requirements and availability of cold ironing

Ship sulphur emissions The shipping industry has for long been using bunker fuel grades with a high sulphur content, a level that is not accepted in road or rail transport. IMO 2020 regulations require a reduction of ship’s fuel sulphur content to 0.5% max (down from 3.5% in 2012). For some designated ECAs and jurisdictions, tighter sulphur limits are set to 0.1% max. To comply with the regulations, ship operators can use one or a combination of many strategies: speed reduction, retrofitting (EGCS / scrubbers), fuel conversion to (V)LSFO, machinery technology solutions, fleet renewal and use of alternative fuel. For ports, and besides compliance monitoring, ports can invest in V/LSFO bunkering, shore power and cold ironing (SSP / AMP), and alternative fuel bunkering and storage.

Ship’s emissions and fuel type

Ship’s emissions and fuel type

Solutions to reduce ship emissions in ports Main measures include: Efficient Ship operations. Ship’s cleaner fuels . Ship’s emissions abatement technologies . Ship-board energy efficiency when in port. Use of OPS/AMP .

Solutions to reduce ship emissions Numerous operational and technical measures are available for ship-port emissions reduction and energy efficiency. There are no “one size fit all” technical measure solution for ships and ports. The operational measures focus on ship and port energy efficiency, and include reducing ship’s WT (use virtual arrivals, improve cargo handling, upgrade cargo equipment, coordinate port management systems, promote JIT, etc.) The technical measures are quite extensive including engines, boilers, after treatment technologies, fuel options, etc. There are solutions underway that focus on the use of alternative maritime power and zero- emission fuels. Other initiatives look at economic and market-based measures such abatements, price incentives, trading schemes, etc.

Port activity emissions and energy use Stemming from port activities, buildings, equipment and machinery, etc. Specific operations require more energy use; e.g., night operations (lighting), reefer containers, and building energy requirements Most port machinery and vehicles can be procured, retrofitted or converted to run on electricity and/or other clean fuels. Port operations and processes can also be streamlined to reduce energy use and emissions: Electrify port equipment Reduce queuing and congestion on the water and landside Optimize ship and truck/rail planning, scheduling and booking systems Minimize idling and Optimize cargo (e.g., container) and traffic (e.g., vehicle) management Vessel and truck speed reduction programmes Reward cleaner ships and inland trucks and vehicles Invest in AMP (clod ironing) and cleaner bunker fuels (hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, etc.) Implement regulatory and policy measures; first mover advantage  Introduce emissions trading and market-based measures

Air Pollution from port operations Stemming from various port activities and operations including: Dust, especially from dry bulk handling, stockpiling, and transportation Dark smoke and hazardous substances from fire, explosion and other safety incidents Air pollution stemming from industrial and processing sites inside or next to port areas. Most regulators impose strict rules and requirements to minimize or eliminate air pollution in ports. Requirements for equipment, installations and procedures to minimize dust, fumes, odours, etc. Regulations for safe storage and handling for various types of cargoes and products. Specific or targeted regulations for the handling of HAZMAT and dangerous goods. Certified plans and procedures to assess, manage and mitigate safety, security and air pollution incidents and accidents

GHG emissions- IMO Strategy IMO 2018 GHG Initial Strategy aims at reducing sector-wide shipping emissions by at least 50% by 2050. Other countries and jurisdictions have set tighter and earlier targets. To achieve low carbon or zero-carbon shipping, the IMO measures are set as short-term operational and technical measures (2018-2023), medium-term market-based and energy efficiency measures (2023-2030), and long-term alternative fuel and zero-carbon energy measures (2030-2050) The transition towards maritime decarbonisation will likely require a combination of several pathways including new (or improved) technologies and operating systems, alternative fuel and supply and storage infrastructures, innovative business models and financing schemes, and other associated and supporting measures. The success and delivery of each pathway will depend on several factors and uncertainties around technology’s availability and scalability, level of demand, infrastructure and technical challenges, costs and prices, and skills development and transition, Ports are essential to maritime decarbonisation and transition as they feature in all potential tools and solutions, and in some cases they constitute the main component of decarbonisation. In addition, ports themselves have to limit their GHG emissions and must achieve a range of decarbonisation targets set at local or national levels.

Mapping GHG Solutions: Operational and performance solutions Zero or minimum costs Most relevant to old or end life-cycle assets Includes policy measures, e.g., IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) High commercial, coordination & supply chain risk Not relevant to long-term innovation needs Option/ So l u ti o n Function /Objective Impact on GHG Commercial & Contractual risks Policy and R egu l a t o r y risks Safety & Secur it y risks Interface & C oo r d i na ti o n risks Speed R educ ti o n Slow steaming reduces fuel consumption and saves energy.

Very High High Medium High Wind & Solar renewables Contribute to auxiliary power requirements, but current technology does not offer sufficient energy density Medium High Offer direct route to low or zero carbon shipping Differences in readiness, cost and scalability Inter-operability risk with supply and port infrastructure Provide ready to deploy options for some markets

GHG emissions: Market based measures Measure types Examples Environmentally differentiated rates/dues Cap and trade (emissions cap and allowance) Baseline and credit system Subsidies ESG financing Industry-led voluntary schemes Fairway dues in Sweden, Green Award Scheme, differentiated tonnage tax in Norway Kyoto CDM and JI EU ETS California Air Investment Programme Preferential contracting Poseidon principles Potential global fuel tax A carbon levy directly fixes a price for carbon dioxide (usually per ton as in an emissions trading system) and can be applied as a fuel levy on the carbon content of fossil fuels. As opposed to an emissions trading system, the emissions reduction outcome is not predetermined but the carbon price is (non-market-based price setting).

Port Initiatives to Reduce Ship’s Emissions

The formula for the ESI Score is: 2 x ESI NO X + ESI SO X + ESI CO 2 + OPS 3 . 1 Some ports have committed themselves to reducing the port-related GHG within an initiative called the World Port Climate Initiative (WPCI)). Ships receive incentives, via calculation and reduction of WPCI’s Environmental Ship Index (ESI). The ESI identifies seagoing ships that perform better the IMO requirements. ESI relies on various formulas to cater for NOx, Sox, CO2 and OPS elements. Green Port Initiatives – Environmental Ship Index (ESI) ESI gives a bonus for use OPS and reporting / monitoring of energy efficiency. The ESI Score ranges from (for a ship meeting IMO regulations) and 100 (for a ship that emits no SOx and no NOx and reports or monitors its energy efficiency). Currently the best performing ships score at around 40 points.

Green Port Initiatives – Clean Air Programme A comprehensive initiative used by some ports to address air emissions from shipping and port operations. Mainly advocated and implemented by a port authority with input from other stakeholders. Program normally includes: A set of specific emission reduction targets A roadmap to achieve those targets. To ensure success, the management system style continuous improvement is applied during implementation Commitment by the management and staff of port authorities and regulatory agencies are essential for success. Monitoring and benchmarking will be part of the implementation process. This could be comparable to another management plans (e.g. SEEMP) but a different scope (port environment)

Green Port Initiatives – Norway Tax and Nox Fund This is a NOx tax applicable mainly to national industries including shipping. The NOx tax is collected from participating industries and is fed into a NOx fund. The NOx fund then provides finances to those organisations that want to implement NOx reduction measures including shipping industry. This scheme is only applicable to domestic shipping around Norway. It is an example of an effective local program that tries to create a financail scheme and business case for NOx reduction. On the basis of the scheme, a large number of ships have so far been equipped with NOx reduction technologies. This fund has also widely finaced major Norwegian initiatives such as the move to LNG as fuel for ships operating in Norwegian water.

Market based measures-Examples NOx reduction incentives in port of Gothenburg Differentiated Port Dues Differentiated Flag Dues Singapore-flagged ships registered on or after 1 July 2011, which go beyond the requirements of the IMO’s EEDI, will enjoy a 50% reduction on the Initial Registration Fees and a 20% Annual Tonnage Tax rebate. ….

OSP, AMP and Cold Ironing On Shore Power (OSP/SP) is known in the industry by various terms: Cold ironing system, Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), Shore side electricity, and/or Shore power OSP is used when ship is stationary at berth to support non-propulsion functions (ventilation, heating, cooling, pumping, cargo handling, etc.), thus reducing or eliminating air emissions and noise. Supply of power from onshore (port) to ship. Allows ships to turn off their engines when in port. Small ships with power requirements of less than 50-100 kw, e.g., tugs and fishing vessels, can draw shore power from normal grid and frequency, as is widely used in most ports around the world. For large ships with higher power requirements, dedicated installations and systems are needed for Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) or cold-ironing: Grid capacity upgrade and alternative onsite / local off-grids (wind turbines, solar panels, etc.); New port substations, charging points and connectors, frequency convertors/transformers, Power Management Systems (PMS) to electronically monitor/control shore power use and peaks in demand. Onboard ship systems’ adaptations for varying voltage and frequency range, control panel, etc.

Source: http://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/ Onshore Power Supply (OPS) – Ship and Shore-side infrastructure On the land side, the high power cold ironing system consists of the following: High voltage grid to the port Frequency and voltage convertors/transformers Control panels and connection boxes Cable reel and connectors On the ship side the following will have to be installed: The grid power solution and the frequency converters typically represent the costliest elements on the shore side. Depending on the availability of grid power and the power requirements, the cost of installing shore power on the shore side will vary considerably. Transformer Power distribution system Control panel Frequency converter (optional for greater flexibility) Connectors and cable reel (optional for greater flexibility)

Onshore Power Supply (OPS) – Need for Standardisation No IMO regulation yet. There have been proposals to add some new regulations to MARPOL Annex VI; but mainly on the following topics: Exemptions: For ships with low emissions or high ship-board energy efficient power generation as compared to OPS. Period in port: Not required to connect to OPS when the berth stay is less than some hours. Availability of OPS: The port shall provide sufficient electrical power to sustain all operations including peak consumptions. Cost of OPS electricity: The electricity costs for the ship to connect to shore power at berth should not exceed the cost of supplied electricity.

Port Environmental Management Marine, water and soil Pollution

Marine, water and soil pollution Sewage and sludges Wastewater from ships, port or industrial facilities are prohibited to be discharged directly into sea and port waters. Regulation requires ships to notify and dispose of their waste at designated reception facilities, but not all ports have installed waste reception facilities. Solid waste and garbage Solid waste and garbage should also be disposed of in special reception garbage areas in the port. The solid waste reception areas are often integrated with the local/city system for recycling and waste management.

Port noise and visual intrusion Port noise stems from various sources: ships, machinery, vehicles, etc. and at various stages of port development and operations. Many ports limit noise-producing activities by working zone or time of operation. Port visual intrusion takes place where seascape, landscape and visual characteristics of the port are negatively impacted, especially for port localities depending on tourism or those surrounded by protected/ preserved areas. Often, a Landscape and Visual Impact Appraisal (LVIA) is undertaken prior to port facility development, expansion or upgrade.

Port Emissions Assessment

Assessment of Environmental Sustainability To assess environmental sustainability in ports, relevant port data and information should be regularly collected, assessed, and monitored against established standards. Environmental sustainability indicators should cover at least, but are not necessarily limited to the following areas: GHG emissions Air pollutants Energy use and energy efficiency Solid waste Liquid waste (incl. oil pollution, ballast water and wastewater) Noise pollution Light pollution Biodiversity Ports should be assessed on both their physical infrastructure and operational practices to have a comprehensive overview of their environmental sustainability. Environmental assessment frameworks can also use both quantitative and qualitative ranking systems for internal evaluation and external benchmarking.

Guides and Steps To-date, there is no common international standard or regulation for assessing or certifying port emissions.There are several international guidelines, (e.g. IAPH and WSP) while some ports have developed their own standards and guidelines. In general, port emissions assessment consists of two to three stages: Emissions inventories; cataloguing various port emissions sources and their activities, translate these into energy consumption levels and then translate energy consumption into emissions. Emission metrics and indicators; establishing baselines, targets and benchmarks for emissions monitoring, control and reduction. Emissions forecasts; estimates of future emissions projections based on ship and vehicle traffic and cargo throughput forecasts and changes in design, equipment and operations. Forecasts help in port planning and decision making.

Scopes of Emissions Assessment and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHP) is an internationally accepted set of (accounting) standards which sets global standards for how to measure, manage and report GHG. Under GHP guidelines, the terminal operator calculate their emissions taking into consideration all their scope 1and 2 Emissions. Scope emissions describe the categorisation of GHG emissions into groups to facilitate universal international accounting and reporting.There are 3 main distinct scopes: Scope 1 emissions or direct emissions are GHG emissions from the sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity. For ports, this refers primarily to emissions from port infrastructures and operations. Scope 2 or indirect emissions are GHG emissions specifically from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heat, or cooling consumed by the reporting entity. Scope 3 emissions refers to all indirect GHG emissions from all sources whether upstream or downstream of a value chain and which are not owned or controlled by the reporting entity directly.

Carbon offsetting, Insetting and Neutrality Offsetting describes the climate action that enables individuals and organisations to compensate for their emissions, by supporting worthy projects that reduce emissions somewhere else. More specifically, it is a term used to describe the act of reducing GHG emissions or increasing GHG removals through activities external to an activity or outside of the supply chain, to reduce the net contribution to global emissions. Offsetting is typically arranged through a marketplace for carbon credits or other exchange mechanism. Offsetting claims are only valid under a rigorous set of conditions, including ensuring that the reductions/removals involved are additional, not over-estimated, and exclusively claimed. Insetting is similar of offsetting but whilst the principles are the same it differs as it applies to a company offsetting its emissions through a project within its own value chain Carbon neutrality is where carbon emission generated, throughout the life cycle of the product/activity, are removed during the same cycle as a result of carbon reduction measures such as environmental actions, carbon capture, operational efficiencies, use of green fuels and renewables, as well as carbon offsetting and insetting.

Planning for emission assessment A general framework for planning emission assessment follows 10 generic steps: Catalogue and group drivers Define intended uses Select air pollutants Select emissions sources Select geographical and operational domains Identify outside emissions sources near port Select inventory period and frequency Identify documentation and reporting requirements Select level of detail Select assessment platform

Cataloguing group drivers ERS – Emissions reduction strategy CSR – Corporate social responsibility Examples of priority grouping of drivers for a port emissions assessment (WPCT)

Selecting environmental pollutants and GHG Pollutants and GHG Main categories Pollutants Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Particulate matter7 (PM), which is further classified by size: PM10 and PM2.5 Sulphur oxides (SOx) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Carbon monoxide (CO) GHG Carbon dioxide (CO2) Nitrous oxide (N2O) Methane (CH4)

Scoping / selecting emission sources Emission source category Coverage Mobile Cargo handling equipment Trucks and vehicles Railroad vehicles and locomotives Port owned vessels Seagoing and domestic vessels Construction equipment Stationary Electrical grids Power Plant Power generators Industrial facilities Buildings and offices Other stationary facilities: wastewater plants, reception facilities, ops. sites, .. Purchased Electricity Lighting, instrumentation, comfort cooling, computers, ventilation, etc. Employee Commuting Emissions from the transportation of employees between their homes and worksites. Scope 1: Mobile + Stationary + Employee Commuting (Authority) Scope 2: Purchased Electricity (Authority) Scope 3 : Mobile + Stationary + Purchased Electricity + Employee Commuting (Tenants)

Select Operational boundaries and identify emissions near ports In tandem with emissions properly, the port should select the geographical and operational boundaries to be included in (excluded from) emissions inventory and assessment. The Port of Rotterdam has limited its geographical domain to include its administrative boundary and its operational domain to its owned and operated emissions sources. The Hamburg Port Authority has limited its emissions inventory to the local port administrative boundary.This boundary was set in conjunction with the Hamburg environmental agency’s emissions inventory geographical domain. Port of Vancouver Port Emission Inventory includes cargo-related and administrative emissions sources and includes an overwater and overland boundary related to the air quality modelling domain for Metro Vancouver (greater than the port’s administrative boundary). PLOA/PLOB geographical domain includes all cargo operational boundaries, extends inland to cover a city-port area of 10 million inhabitants and waterside to 130 nm out to sea.

Green Port Benchmarks

Green Port Road Map

GPH and Environmental Reporting GHG emissions are usually measured by using CO2-conversion factors recommended by GHP. UK DEFRA are widely used in the UK and elsewhere, covering all types of fuels. The adoption of common CO2-conversion factors are important to ensure common standards. Other common denominators include the ‘number of boxes entering and leaving the terminal”. So total GHG emissions are divided by the number of boxes / containers handled to lead to a KgCO2e/box.The same approach is used for other cargo (e.g., KgCO2e/ton)

Green Port Benchmarks- Dredging Management Plan Examples of analogous plan: In 2003 the Port of London Authority (PLA) published the Maintenance Dredging Framework for the Thames to guide decisions on maintenance dredging and ensure sustainability.This Framework provides for the coordinated assessment and management of dredging operations on the tidal Thames and includes the consideration of any likely impacts on designated conservation sites. Wheatstone Project - Dredging and Dredge Spoil Placement Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan. This is a state of the art plan, made for a project in an area with very sensitive habitats (e.g. corral). It may be too complex for the PoB situation, but it is always easier to simplify a good plan than to start from scratch. Recommendation on the structure of the plan should be based on the following guidance documents: OSPAR Guidelines for the Management of Dredged Material at Sea (Agreement 2014-06); Technical Annex included in both the OSPAR and HELCOM guidelines to minimize the effects on the environment of dredging operations as far as practicable; PIANC, IADC and CEDA dredging guidance documents for monitoring and management of dredging activities. Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Ports, Harbours and Terminals (IFC, 2017); and General EHS Guidelines - Waste management guidance for non-hazardous and hazardous waste (IFC, 2017).

Port of Long Beach Air Emission inventory 2017-Present Incentive schemes on reduction of carbon emissions Port of Rotterdam ambition: energy transition leader.The Port of Rotterdam Authority stimulates the use of clean shipping fuels by offering incentives to inland shipping (e.g. the Environmental Ship Index and the discount on port dues for inland shipping) and by lobbying to reduce the sulphur content in shipping fuels, for example (IMO 2020), as well as by contributing to research on climate-friendly production technology.The study commissioned in 2018 by the Port of Rotterdam, Deep decarbonisation pathways for transport and logistics identified the following pathways: energy efficiency, modal shift and fuel shift. Hamburg Port Authority: LNG, shoreside power and more. Port of London Authority introduced in January 2017 the UK’s first Green Tariff, incentivising operators to use cleaner vessels. It exceeds the standards set by the International Maritime Organisation. In 2011, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) has introduced a discount on port dues for environmentally friendly ships, the so-called Green Port Fee (based Environmental Ship Index).
