Abstract
The article presents the results of the seaport ecological condition indicators study of a depressed industrial hub. The traditional ranking of indicators of ecological condition on three levels is analyzed: international, national, regional. Based on the recommendations of Eco Port PERS, the requirements of ISO 14001 and environmental management and audit, EMAS analyzes the environmental indicators that are recommended for use. The scientific novelty is the justification of the necessity to use the territorial indicator of the seaport ecological condition due to the specifics of the territorial location - first, the nature of the seaport as a city-forming enterprise - secondly, the seaport - the third, deterioration of an ecological situation of an industrial site, in - the fourth. The ecological model of the seaport is based on its division into two subsystems: production and consumer, and the link between them is transport and transport processes. The necessity of maintaining the ecological and economic balance in the seaport and on the territory of the depressed industrial hub is substantiated according to the indicators of the cargo transportation intensity, the quality of transport services and the current ecological situation of the territory as a whole, which is provided by the System of ecological condition of European ports PERS.
Highlights
IntroductionIt should be noted that the topic of "ecology of activity" (meaning any activity: production, provision of services, including transportation, loading, reloading, unloading, storage, processing, etc.) since the 70s of the twentieth century has always been one of the most important in the world, in any international forum, the problem of ecology sounded
It should be noted that the topic of "ecology of activity" since the 70s of the twentieth century has always been one of the most important in the world, in any international forum, the problem of ecology sounded
The explanation for the increased interest in the ecology of seaports is primarily due to the fact that according to historical, geographical and strategic criteria for any state, the seaport is always in the intersection center area of all transport routes and communications
Summary
It should be noted that the topic of "ecology of activity" (meaning any activity: production, provision of services, including transportation, loading, reloading, unloading, storage, processing, etc.) since the 70s of the twentieth century has always been one of the most important in the world, in any international forum, the problem of ecology sounded. An important component that explains the special attitude to seaports is due to the fact that they have always been created in industrial regions, in those places where raw materials, industrial and agricultural goods have accumulated This has led to the fact that seaports are located in environmentally vulnerable areas; as a rule, are located within urban areas; handle large volumes of cargo that contain hydrocarbons, which inevitably affects the amount of carbon emissions and air quality. Another important circumstance that explains the increased interest in seaports, according to the authors, it is the largest volume of foreign economic activity of states is through seaports, which explains the increased level of requirements for the organization and implementation of production, economic, economic and environmental activities of seaports. Production activities and further development of seaports are directly related and interact with the air and water basin with soils, flora and fauna, as well as with the population of its territory
