The modern pace of technological development as well as the urgent need for political and social mobilization on environmental issues are putting increasing pressure on ports to turn to sustainable development. Ports are now an integral part of the urban centers to which they belong, as they are a channel of communication and trade connecting them with the rest of the world and they play a crucial role in the economic and social life of cities. The issue of sustainable development has grown in recent years, largely due to the fact that both the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) have issued guidelines to promote its implementation in a variety of sectors, including ports and transport hubs in general. So the modern ports have a duty to follow the instructions and to comply with the new rules set by both the international authorities and the current of the time. Each port is called upon to reshape and upgrade its logistics chain, its infrastructure, the way in which it exploits and uses new technological means, as well as its internal operational structures, in order to be able to offer better services, while it does not burden the environment or the society that hosts it. Shipping has now turned its attention to conserving resources and reducing waste as today's initiatives are what will shape tomorrow's transport. The present work therefore aims to analyze the concept of sustainability, the legal framework and possible ways of its implementation as well as to investigate how big terminals understand the term and how they are implementing it.
