Circular opportunities and challenges for ports

Lessons from port performance management and port cluster context

 

Exploring is making choices

   

The outcome of this exploratory research is not an end

ALERT TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

First, the exploration sets the scene and provides a robust basis for initial monitoring of the circular economy in port areas. New developments, as inherent to any transition, will need incorporated in a later stage, including: new or higher ambitions of ports / stakeholders with respect to circular economy, new policy efforts, regional drivers and/or resources available to make this happen.

SOLVING ISSUES ON THE GROUND

Second, the exploratory rollout, as presented for one example seaport in this study, revealed several challenges in terms of surveillance applications. These practical implications will be explored and recognized, and follow-up research will be needed to solve issues on the ground, and to make a monitoring system or set of indicators widely accepted and implemented.

FEEDBACK LOOPS AND LEARNING

Third, the research process may lead to necessary feedback loops. Some findings from later stages may impact choices made in earlier stages of the research process, and require potential adaptations through learning. This initial exploratory research will not cover any dynamic circular ambitions, solutions to implementation issues or feedback loops, but it will express the need to folllow up on these insights in the (near) future.
