Nowadays, more than 90% of the global huge transit transportation is carried out through the sea ways. Different factors such as the emission of gases related to the fuel of ships in the sea and especially in ports, the leakage of oil materials due to marine accidents and the negligence of ship crews, the use of port equipment, impure diesel fuel in power station generators, etc., caused an increase in greenhouse gases emergence, environmental pollution and endangering human lives. Therefore, the creation and stablishing of green ports by applying the global and international standards and complying with maritime conventions and regulations would smooth out the process of the intelligentization of ports. In consequence, it can definitely increase the speed of goods transfer, the tracking of ships and goods, provide the transparency of statistics, reducing the costs and increasing the quality and capacity of the sea ports. This research for the above mentioned reasons, has applied the integrated theory that is empowered and developed by Dempster-Shafer and the interpretive structural equations of ISM (the green and smart components of ports). According to the carried out analysis, firstly, 9 key indicators were identified in the greening and smartness of ports, then the identified indicators were classified based on the Pestel analytical model. Finally, based on Dempster-Shafer method, it was indicated that the greenness indicator of the sea port margins with a weight of 0.141 is ranked in the first place and The amount of greenhouse gas production with a weight of 0.131 was ranked as the second one and in compliance with smart technology it was ranked in the third place with a weight of 0.128. This research is also applied the approach of the ISM method for identifying the applied indicators.

Port has always played a strategic role in domestic and foreign trade growth for developed and developing countries. As the world moves towards globalization and distances are steadily narrowing, ports have gained a more active role in the economic growth of the country and are no longer just a passive operator for transportation. Port networking is a relatively new idea that has been the focus of leading shipping countries in recent years. In the networking approach, small and large ports can interact with one another in a larger network as part of the whole, helping stakeholders and organizations fulfil their provisions. In this research, the focus is on commercial ports of Bushehr Province, including Bushehr, Deylam, Genaveh, Rig, Morvarid Kharg, Mohammed Ameri, Buolkheir, Ameri, Dayer, Kangan, Nakhl Taghi and Asalouyeh. At first, using Delphi method, port evaluation indicators were determined and accordingly, ports of Bushehr province were operationaly classified in three levels and geographically in three groups. Finally, by placing the mentioned ports in the transportation networking models, a dynamic networking model for the ports of Bushehr province is presented.

Emerging economies today see the path of development in expanding their activities towards internationalization. Expanding the boundaries of competition has led businesses to focus more on expanding their operations internationally, and factors such as export performance have become a target for many businesses. In this regard, free zones are dynamic and economic areas that have provided a way to better support businesses by providing support resources. Business networking and the formation of business groups have also created a framework for cooperation and development of competitive capabilities for companies in these economies. To this end, relying on a relationship-based strategic approach, this research examines a set of intra-firm factors, inter-firm factors and external factors were analyzed to examine the export performance of companies operating in the context of the free zone with a network-based perspective (relation view). To fit the research model, a sample of 151 companies active in the Anzali Free Trade-Industrial Zone was selected and surveyed using questionnaire and structural equation modeling technique (using smart PLS software). The results confirm the influence of each of the intra-firm, inter-firm and external factors on export performance. Also, the moderating effect of political relations in the research model was significant only in relation to external factors on export performance, and in other relations it was not confirmed at 95% significance level.

Marine environment the southern waters of the country are at risk due to special ecological conditions, excessive use of marine resources and environmental pollution. The importance of marine bioprotection has increased with the diversity of plant, animal and aquatic species. Disposal of environmental pollutants, chemical fertilizers and toxins, industrial and agricultural effluents are among the causes of marine environmental pollution. The purpose of this research is to design an internal marketing model based on the governance of Khuzestan sugarcane industry in protecting the marine environment of the southern waters of the country. This research is descriptive-survey in terms of applied purpose and in terms of data collection method. The first statistical population includes board members, senior managers and university professors and purposeful, judgmental and accessible sampling methods. The second statistical population includes managers and external stakeholders and stratified sampling method. The data collection tool was the Delphi questionnaire which completed the Delphi process during two rounds of distribution. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The face validity of the questionnaire was assessed by experts and university professors and its content validity was assessed using factor analysis (KMO = 0/829); the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's alpha (α =0/976). The results showed that internal marketing has a positive and significant effect on the governance of the sugarcane industry and the protection of the marine environment of southern waters. The governance of the sugarcane industry has a direct role to play in protecting the marine environment. Governance mediators play a significant role in the relationship between internal marketing and the preservation of the marine environment. The highest correlation coefficient is between marine environmental protection and sugarcane industry governance. The main environmental pollutants are the discharge of sugarcane effluent into the sea, the release of agricultural wastewater downstream of the wetland, the discharge of effluent from the Razi distillery in the Karun River, the discharge of phenolic toxins at low pH and the release of various useless salts into southern waters. Effluents contain arsenic and potassium elements and cause food poisoning and threaten aquatic life

The deployment of value-added services can be very effective in achieving a vision in order to facilitate the strategic decisions of ports. This research is based on empirical studies with a critical and descriptive realistic approach using case studies from Iranian ports. It aims to explore the potential contribution of value added services in ports as a logistical strategy for increasing competition. The lack of research on the provision of value-added services in marine logistics and its potential, as a competitive advantage is analysed from the point of view of port users. The results indicate that value-added services that are easily accessible and presented, are the provision of transportation services, warehousing services, fresh water supply services, refrigerated services, and product assembly sites. Based on the assumptions made in this article, the provision of value-added services has contributed to attract and keep port users (customers), and the conclusion is made on the validity of this claim.

In this research employee’s needs hierarchy of central administration of Hormozgan’s port and maritime organization has been traced and sorted. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were examined and proved and then distributed among the sample of the research. Number of the research sample is determined by Cochran Sampling formula. 93 out of 100 distributed questionnaires have been returned which all of them were acceptable. In order to analysis questionnaires, some tests have been used like: T-test, ANOVA test, KMO, Bartlett test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Binomial test, Spearman correlation coefficient and Goodness of fit test (by some software packages such as Excel, Lisrel 8/8, SPSS 19). The conceptual model was evaluated by indicators of goodness of fit model, including: GFI, AGFI, RMSEA, CFI and NFI also binomial test and spearman correlation coefficient (that has been verified) were evaluated. The result revealed that among personal specifications (gender, age, marital status, work experience and education), organizational specifications (employment status and work place) and economical specifications (amount of wages and salaries), only education has a different effect on personnel job satisfaction. At the end of the research, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs has been traced for employees of Central Administration of Hormozgans’ Port and Maritime, that were in order: Self-actualization (3/72), Physiological (3/69), Social (3/67), Esteem (3/64) and Safety (3/52).

The aim of this study, is evaluating of relative efficiency of major container port in Middle East for the period of 2011-2013. Required information was collected from scientific resources and inputs and outputs data were collected from statistical yearbook of the Iran’s ports and maritime organization and formal website of each foreign port. Firstly in this study Relative Efficiency of Ports were evaluated via one basic model of DEA-technique namely BCC-O. Then ports were ranked based on the achieved results. To rank ports with the 100% efficiency Anderson-peterson method was used. Based on the results of output- oriented CCR model that represents overall technical efficiency, port of Khorafkan, has the highest coefficient of efficiency and Bandar Imam Khomeini has been the weakest port in three years in this respect. The average efficiency of studied ports is 54.3% in the period of 2011-2013. Finally, virtual ports were proposed as template for inefficient ports to improve efficiency.

In this paper the amount of pollution produced by boats with 2-stroke engines have been calculated, in different seasons in southern coast of Iran. The seasonal activity of boats is estimated based on the average of wide range of expert opinion whom familiar with these type of vessel according to crowd wisdom theorem. Also the amount pollution per hours power of engine is derivates from similar international researches.The results show that the proportion of pollution from these boats is about 290 times greater than pollution from stern tube and deck machinery leakage from vessels in southern Iran. In particular, they are contains toxic compounds of BTEX which is generated in way of marine life near coastal waters. In spring and winter the pollution is greater than other seasons. with emphasis on the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea are the “Especial Area” and the threat of activity of boats on marine life; Suitable solution to reduce the pollution from these vessels, Should be in priority program of coastal countries especially the Islamic Republic of Iran .
