Port of Brisbane has leveraged its award-winning physics-based vessel management system, NCOS Online, to further optimize a vessel’s target speed, within operational transit windows, to reduce emissions. This "Green Button" functionality uses an accurate vessel emissions algorithm, and trials resulted in the first five vessels trialed (collaborating with Maersk and CMA CGM) using the tool realized results exceeding expectations, with a reduction of 51% for one of the vessels. Further savings up to 71% for one of the vessels being possible with better operational support for pilots to closely adhere to recommend dynamic speed profiles necessary to get the full benefits.

Nexigen, the Dock Electrification Plan, is aligned with the Port of Barcelona's environmental sustainability goal, Strategic Plan 2021-2025. It is a key part of the Port of Barcelona's energy transition plan, which aims achieve 50% emissions reduction by 2030 and to be a carbon-neutral port by 2050. The plan also considers energy supply with certified 100% renewable origin, and a new 220/25 kV port substation within the Port of Barcelona that will be connected to the Cerdà Substation of Red Eléctrica Española (REE/redeia) (National Electricity Grid operator) that is currently under construction. The first phases of the plan became operational in 2024.

The Supply Chain Carbon Calculator (Lite) is a web application developed for Ports of Auckland to allow customers to calculate emissions from the transportation of their container cargo on road and rail across the North Island. POAL has also created a more sophisticated supply chain emissions tool which offers greater complexities of real-world infrastructure and interactions.

In order to address the challenge for European ports of reducing GHG emissions while remaining competitive, the Ports of Antwerp, Barcelona, Venlo and Constanta will implement green port innovation demonstrations across four main pillars: clean energy production and supply, sustainable port design, modal shift and flows optimization, and digital transformation. The PIONEERS project is coordinated by Port of Antwerp and a consortium of 45 partners.
