    GREEN PORTS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE: THE CASE OF KUMPORT PORT
    (Bayburt Üniversitesi, 2025) Çelik, Yeliz; Yorulmaz, Murat
    Maritime transportation is more preferred than other types of transportation because it can transport large volumes of goods at one time, consumes less fuel due to its speed, is more economical over long distances and therefore reduces operational costs. One of the most important elements of maritime transportation, which is more preferred by countries, is ports. It is a technological and complex entity that can perform various applications with its infrastructure and superstructures with various loading and unloading equipment, which is a key point in the global transportation network that connects the ocean and inland transportation lines, providing the transportation of cargo and people from one place to another. A green port is a port complex that encourages sustainability, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, minimizes pollutant emissions, and determines an environmentally friendly and competitive policy. In this direction, the study examined the concept of green port and the criteria affecting the performance of green ports were determined with the help of literature research. The weighting of these criteria was made by entropy method using the numerical values in sector reports and port sustainability reports. Using the TOPSIS method with the determined criteria weights, Kumport Port's performance ranking was made according to years. As a result of all these analyzes, the "Emission Amount (tCO2/TEU)" criterion was determined as the most important criterion, while the "Annual Handled TEU Amount" criterion was determined as the less important criterion compared to the others. In 2020, Kumport Port's green performance was at the highest level, while its performance in 2022 was lower compared to other years. When the existing literature was examined, no research was found in which entropy and TOPSIS methodology were used together with the criteria determined for this study and a green port performance evaluation of a port on a yearly basis. This study is expected to fill this gap in the literature.
