Abstract

In this chapter, we critically review the stakeholder management literature applied to port(s) and port authorities, in terms of stakeholder identification and mapping. For each contribution, we discuss the main stakeholders identified and the context(s) within which the research took place. Based on the reviewed contributions, we conclude on the generic stakeholders identified across all contributions and highlight the rising importance of local community inclusion for port sustainability. Based on these insights, we formulate ideas for further research as well as managerial implications and discuss structural approaches such as sustainability reporting and license to operate measurement. For stakeholder-inclusive port planning purposes, we identify and discuss six major elements for consideration in future port planning and design processes, with the aim to achieve a more sustainable port development.
