Abstract:

The development of the transportation system taking into account ecological aspects in the literature is generally defined as the shaping of a sustainable transportation system. Thus, the shaping of a sustainable transport system is related not only to the implementation of transport policy objectives, but also to environmental issues such as air, land and water pollution, noise, or vibrations emitted by means of transport. Environmental management issues do not bypass seaports.

The purpose of this article is to identify the basic principles of waste management in a seaport, using the port of Gdynia as an example.
