摘要
Ports' activities have a significant impact on the marine environment of the Baltic Sea, as well as on port cities. The environmental performance of ports is all the more important because of Baltic Sea's vulnerability. This unique basin is highly sensitive to the environmental impacts of human activities in its catchment area. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the environmental performance of Polish ports. The paper identifies current top environmental priorities of Polish ports, and highlights the progress in the field of environmental management after joining the EU in 2004. As all ports are obliged to meet the legal requirements, a particular attention is drawn to the policy's aim to improve environmental standards beyond those required under legislation. This paper also focuses on experiences, with the implementation of the environmental management systems like ISO 14001 or a similar system. It highlights different attitudes towards EMS process of certification. Moreover, as Polish ports are considered to be significant sources of pollution and greenhouse gas emission in their cities, ports' initiatives aimed at reducing this negative impact are taken into consideration. The analysis is carried out in comparison with other ports of the Baltic Sea Region.
