Abstract

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.
