By addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities, seaports can establish themselves as vital contributors to a circular global, regional and local economy, ensuring a more resilient and environmentally responsible future. Governments, businesses, and stakeholders must align to support ports toward sustainability and to reap the advantages of adopting circular economy mechanisms.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While the handbook provides a very comprehensive overview and analysis of all aspects relevant to contemporary port economics, management and policy, we felt there is room to further elaborate on some key issues affecting port ecosystems. One of the themes that need a much more detailed analysis in the book is the circular economy and ports.<em> &#8211; <\/em><strong>Theo Notteboom <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At present, ports and governments are paying a great deal of attention to the energy transition, or even parts of it, such as hydrogen (flows, infrastructure). Circular challenges are still somewhat overshadowed, and the interactions between energy and circular transitions are not fully recognized. The transition to a circular economy is not something isolated or an add-on to sustainable development. It is also not just about improving the efficiency of the existing economic system, but a fundamental systemic change or transition to the next economy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3><strong>New full-fledged circular economy chapter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The authors will develop an extensive analysis of the theme of (sea)port ecosystems and the circular economy. The potential and the role of ports in circular economy implementation and the impacts of the circular economy on (sea)port ecosystems will be examined. This also includes analyzing the current practices, development trends, challenges, opportunities, and initiatives adopted by seaports worldwide to transition toward a more sustainable and resilient future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I am glad to participate with Theo and Thanos (long-term collaborators colloquially known as the \u2018Charthouse Group\u2019) on this important addition to the textbook. The goal is not just to provide a synthesis of what already exists concerning the role of ports in a circular economy, but also about providing new concepts and ideas, including an actionable framework for ports. <em>&#8211; <\/em><strong>Jean-Paul Rodrigue <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The outcomes of the work will be fully integrated as a separate new chapter in the hardcopy and the online version of the handbook <strong>Port Economics, Management and Policy<\/strong>. Furthermore, some aspects of the circular economy and ports, like governance and performance, will also be integrated with other parts of the handbook. The inclusion of the outcomes in this freely accessible and widely cited handbook is aimed at assessing the notion of ports and the circular economy in a variety of contexts and for a wide audience ranging from students, practitioners to policymakers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3><strong>Easy-to-use and regularly updated website<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The unique feature of the handbook is that it is accompanied by a <a href=\"https:\/\/porteconomicsmanagement.org\/\">freely accessible website<\/a>, which is even more elaborate and detailed than the hardcopy book and gets updated on a regular basis. This approach offers a lot of flexibility to the authors to adapt the handbook\u2019s content to reflect current trends, inflection points, and signals that new trends and developments as circle economy might emerge.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Partnering between the authors and Circular Flanders is clearly a win-win situation, now and in the years to come. Although the partnership now focuses on the integration of a chapter on circular economy in the handbook, it is far from being a one-off product. With continuity in online updates, it is at the same time a longer-term process that guarantees the deepening and enrichment of the debate at an international level. Such a framework can only help build bridges between the circular economy and port communities.<em>\u00a0&#8211; <\/em><strong>Walter Tempst<\/strong> (Circular Flanders)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The project will also benefit by the visibility of its results and dissemination via the international web initiative <a href=\"http:\/\/www.porteconomics.eu\">PortEconomics<\/a>, as all three authors of the handbook are co-directors\/leading members of this initiative since 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_c70c97eb height_large color_primary\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_ebaefe07 has_text_color via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"605\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website.png 605w, https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website-600x473.png 600w, https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website-507x400.png 507w, https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website-400x315.png 400w, https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Port-economics_website-500x394.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Check out the free accessible online handbook<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The book can be used as a textbook in universities and schools.

We don\u2019t have all the answers either, but we create a context for learning, doing and finding lasting solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_eef79b84 height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_6745946f has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5><strong>Re-sources<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Related<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-grid us_post_list type_grid layout_7975 cols_3 overflow_hidden preload_style_spinner\" id=\"us_post_list_b303\" style=\"--columns:3;--gap:1.5rem;\"><style>@media (max-width:1024px){#us_post_list_b303{--columns:2!important}}@media (max-width:767px){#us_post_list_b303{--columns:1!important}}.layout_7975 .w-grid-item-h{color:var(--color-content-text)}.layout_7975 .usg_post_image_1{margin-bottom:-2rem!important}.layout_7975 .usg_post_title_1{font-size:1.2rem!important}.layout_7975 .usg_vwrapper_1{margin-top:2rem!important;background:#ffffff!important;padding:24px 20px 48px 20px!important;border:1px solid #EFEFEF!important}.layout_7975 .usg_post_taxonomy_1{text-transform:capitalize!important}.layout_7975 .usg_post_date_1{color:rgba(77,77,77,0.50)!important}.layout_7975 .usg_post_content_1{margin-bottom:4rem!important}.layout_7975 .usg_btn_1{position:absolute!important;bottom:24px!important}.layout_7975 .usg_hwrapper_1{margin-left:-0.2em!important}.layout_7975 .usg_html_2{margin-bottom:.1rem!important}<\/style><div class=\"w-grid-list\">\t<article class=\"w-grid-item size_1x1 post-1529 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-people tag-port-economics tag-port-management content-type-book type-of-practice-education-training\" data-id=\"1529\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"w-grid-item-h\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-vwrapper usg_vwrapper_2 blog--image-container align_none valign_top\"><div class=\"w-post-elm post_image usg_post_image_1 blog--image has_ratio\"><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.sidekick.be\/circularports\/new-book-port-economics-management-and-policy-offers-comprehensive-reference-for-port-professionals\/\" aria-label=\"New book &#8216;Port Economics, Management and Policy&#8217;
