In this paper an identification and selection of Environmental Performance Indicators (EPIs) in port areas has been conducted. A comprehensive inventory of existing EPIs in use in the seaport sector has been identified for monitoring performance of operational (e.g. dust, noise, dredging, and waste), managerial (e.g. certification, compliance, and complaints) and environmental condition (e.g. air, water, sediment and ecosystems). These indicators have been filtered against specific criteria and have been assessed and evaluated by port stakeholders in order to obtain a final set of indicators suitable to be implemented at EU level. A user friendly tool has been developed specifically to assist port authorities in calculating and reporting the proposed indicators. This study has drawn on major research projects to blend academic research with input from marine professionals in order to identify, select, evaluate and validate EPIs that are acceptable and feasible to the sector, and practicable in their application and implementation.
本文对港口区域的环境绩效指标（EPI）进行了识别与筛选。已对海港部门现行使用的EPI进行了全面梳理，以监测运营方面（如粉尘、噪音、疏浚和废弃物）、管理方面（如认证、合规和投诉）以及环境状况（如空气、水、沉积物和生态系统）的绩效。这些指标已根据特定标准进行筛选，并由港口利益相关者进行评估，以获得一套适合在欧盟层面实施的最终指标。专门开发了一个用户友好型工具，以协助港口当局计算和报告所提议的指标。本研究借鉴了重大研究项目，将学术研究与海洋专业人士的意见相结合，以识别、选择、评估和验证该行业可接受且可行、在应用和实施中切实可行的EPI。
