The maritime industry plays a dual role as a critical driver of global trade and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions, posing challenges to environmental sustainability. As key nodes in the global supply chain, ports face mounting pressure to adopt greener practices. This study synthesises insights from contemporary scientific research articles, highlighting best practices, successful case studies, and obstacles in implementing emission reduction strategies and environmentally friendly port services worldwide. A two-step mixed-methods approach was utilised, combining a systematic review of literature with qualitative data analysis. The PRISMA methodology guided the selection of 27 peer-reviewed articles from the Web of Science Core Collection, spanning the period from 2015 to 2024. Subsequently, thematic coding and comprehensive analysis were conducted using Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) ATLAS.ti, enabling a structured synthesis of findings related to port services and emission reduction strategies. Through this analysis, three critical themes emerged as essential for enhancing environmental sustainability in port operations: innovative technologies for emission reduction, data-driven optimization for port efficiency, and policies and governance for green ports. Drivers such as financial incentives, advanced technologies, and regulatory frameworks were identified, alongside barriers like economic feasibility, technical challenges, and organisational resistance. These themes reveal the interconnected nature of sustainability efforts and the need for collaborative strategies to overcome existing obstacles. By identifying key drivers and challenges, this research offers valuable insights for advancing sustainable practices in port operations. The findings underscore the importance of aligning technological, operational, and policy-driven measures to foster environmental efficiency while mitigating emissions. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable port operations, providing actionable insights for stakeholders and policymakers in the maritime industry to support the transition toward greener and more efficient port practices.
