Sea ports and the related maritime activities (e.g. shipping, shipbuilding, etc.) are one of the main driver of Europe's growth, jobs, competitiveness and prosperity. The continuously growth of shipping sectors has however introduced some environmental concerns, particularly with respect to ship-generated waste management. The port of Koper, one of the major ports on the northern Adriatic Coast, is the focus of this study. In this paper, a life cycle assessment was performed to identify and quantify the environmental impacts caused by the ship-generated waste management of port of Koper. Carcinogens substance (e.g. dioxins) and inorganic emissions, especially heavy metals, resulted to be the most critical environmental issues, while the fossil fuels consumption is reduced by recovery of ship-generated oils. Moreover, the final treatment of ship waste was found to be critical phase of the management, and the landfill have a significant contribute to the overall environmental load. These results can be useful in the identification of the best practices and in the implementation of waste management plans in ports.
海港及相关的海事活动（如航运、造船等）是欧洲增长、就业、竞争力和繁荣的主要驱动力之一。然而，航运业的持续增长带来了一些环境问题，特别是与船舶产生的废物管理有关。科佩尔港是亚得里亚海北部海岸的主要港口之一，是本研究的重点。本文通过生命周期评估来确定和量化科佩尔港船舶废物管理所造成的环境影响。致*物物质（如二恶英）和无机排放物，特别是重金属，是最关键的环境问题，而船舶产生的油的回收则减少了化石燃料的消耗。此外，船舶废物的最终处理被发现是管理的关键阶段，而垃圾填埋场对整体环境负荷有重大贡献。这些结果可用于确定最佳实践，并在港口实施废物管理计划。
