This paper investigates the integration of environmental sustainability into port concession agreements, addressing mounting environmental challenges and the increasing emphasis on sustainability. Traditionally shaped by economic considerations, these agreements now require a more integrated approach that incorporates environmental sustainability a...

Background: Quality, Safety and Security are embedded in all aspects of port operations and are crucial for port industry stakeholders. Over the past decades, numerous assurance systems, codes, and regulations for quality, safety, and security have been developed and implemented in ports world-wide. This paper examines key insights for the implemen...

The most prominent risk assessment techniques are founded on the values of measuring and controlling the frequency and the consequences of risks in order to assure an "acceptable level" of "safeness" mainly in the lines of environmental, health and hygiene and port product issues. This paper examines security risk assessment approaches within the e...

Concession agreements (CAs) in the port sector are designed to establish mutually beneficial arrangements for involved parties. They serve as catalysts, enabling ports to attract adept private investors and secure requisite funding to enhance port infrastructure, superstructure, and service quality. Concurrently, the imperative to mitigate negative...

Gamified education has set the ground for the delineation of state-of-the-art literacy skills, enabling learners to develop their digital, cognitive, emotional and social competencies, through active experimentation, motivation and engagement, all while ensuring that pedagogical objectives are being effectuated, therefore capacitating the optimizat...

The evolution and integration of ports in global logistics chains has altered their traditional role while has initiated restructuring processes in many ports worldwide. While most of the research addresses this issue by highlighting the need for re-positioning and redefining the role of the port within the supply chains, not much attention has bee...

Gamification in education enables for the holistic optimization of the learning process, empowering learners to ameliorate their digital, cognitive, emotional and social skills, via their active experimentation with game design elements, accompanying pertinent pedagogical objectives of interest. This paper focuses on a cross-platform, innovative, g...

In an attempt to mitigate and balance economic, environmental, and societal externalities that ports exert, port sustainability is becoming increasingly important as a key priority. This work embarks on an effort to explore the boundaries, provide a holistic view, and establish a knowledge map of contemporary research in the field of port externali...

Purpose Digital information seeking behavior incorporates the effective information seeking, retrieving and using in maritime studies. Moreover, digital information literacy skills support the employment of digital tools and information databases for decision making and for performing specific tasks online. The main aim of this paper is to explore...

Along with recent fundamental changes in several aspects of the port industry, ports come up against formidable environmental challenges. It is thus important and often imperative to mainstream environmental concerns in their operation, planning, and development; improve their environmental performance; and make the transition to sustainable produc...

World trade increasingly relies on longer, larger and more complex port systems, where maritime transportation is a vital backbone of such operations. Port systems are more prone to being risk oriented. Many specific methods have been found to assess risk and safety in a port area or operation. A review is presented of different approaches to quant...

Amidst the ever increasing demand for the unhindered flow of freight throughout the world, seaport safety is emerging as a critical factor which increasingly dictates the need to establish a proactive approach towards addressing the associated risks rather than the traditional reactive response to port accidents. This paper proposes and presents a...

Purpose – The concept was that municipal real estate was an asset which consisted of a combination of measurable and hard-to-estimate returns (including social benefits) rather than a public good. Many local government organizations attempted to capitalize and assess real estate, with a view to generating revenue for local authorities. Others proce...

Present-day municipalities constitute important, dynamic, administrative and institutional entities which aim at developing local communities, tackling problems of peripherality and social cohesion and lifting exclusion. The primary aim of this survey is to investigate issues concerning Greek municipalities, such as the financial problems they face...

The liberalisation of maritime transport constitutes a substantial and vital progress not only in the maritime transport market but also in influencing the development of distant island regions. In the European Union (EU), the establishment of the legal framework and policy regarding the liberalisation is standing from the year of 1992. In Greece,...

Modern ports, operating in a new environment, constitute links in the door to door transportation. This new environment is characterized by the intensification of inter port and intra port competition. The reduction of risks, derived from this vigorously competitive environment through the implementation of concrete management practices, can be con...
