ABSTRACT

Port activity resulted in industry development (e.g. refining, petrochemical industry, iron, cement) and transport flows within port areas and along river corridors. These industries have some of the highest levels of carbon emissions and are undergoing radical changes. As landlords and key logistic nodes, port authorities have the power to grow and accelerate industry adaptation and to seize emerging opportunities. Drawing on the case of Haropa, a corridor-sized port, this chapter examines how greater economies of scale and scope could prompt port authorities to take action in favour of green corridors.
