Implementation of Environmental Management System for Vessel Operation within a Port Area / 船舶於港區作業之環境管理系統建制研究

碩士 / 國立臺北大學 / 自然資源與環境管理研究所在職專班 / 100 / In order to enhance the competitiveness and the business performances, international ports devote to improving software and hardware facilities in recent years. However, the environmental loads of ports aggravate as the vessel traffic and the port capacity increase. Since the authorities of port management in Taiwan adapt administrative control but lack of a complete management system, this thesis collects various operation activities in the port and then identifies possible environmental issues induced by the activities. Besides, the research proposes a port management system incorporating the ISO14001 as a reference for port management authorities. The system can reduce the penalties by administration due to port pollutions or accidental violations of ships. One expects that the research is helpful for improving the environmental qualities.
In literature, the most port pollution comes from the inbound and outbound operations of ships, where the business ships produce the most pollutants. After classifying the pollution types, the first severe type is air pollutions, and the second severe type is ballast water pollutions. To reduce the pollutions, the proposed countermeasure is summarized as follows. For the pollutions of oils, toxic substances, sewage, and wastes, ports corporations should provide enough accepting energy, which can avoid arbitrary emissions of ships in the ports. Besides, ports corporations can supervise ships according to international covenants and national laws. For the air pollution during ship voyage and berthing, the air pollutions in the port are first studied through emission inventory of air pollutants and monitoring systems, and then the air qualities in the port can be gradually improved by reducing ship inbound speeds, by applying low sulfur fuel oils, and by connecting with port electric power systems. For the environmental irreversible effect due to ballast water pollutions in the ocean and port, the pollutions can be improved by sea water exchange outside the port and management facilities of ships. The only concern is the enhancement of execution and management.
