- The port industry is transforming into a smart port thanks to technological advancements and environmental expectations. Developing a sustainable maritime transportation system and its beneficial electrification as a proven approach in emissions reduction are gathering momentum due to technological growth. Global containerization leads to high electricity demand at container terminals, and the electricity demand is highly dynamic and dependent on different operation processes. The approach of this paper is to forecast the hourly peak load demand and short-term electricity demand profile in a container terminal. The correctly forecasted electricity demand profile is crucial for less expensive and reliable power operation and planning. First, Artificial Neural Network (ANN)method is used to predict the container terminal baseload demand. Second, the worst-case simultaneous peak load is estimated. Third, the day-ahead load profile is modeled based on the handling operation scheduled for the day. The approach is implemented at the container terminal in Port of Gävle, and the results, including the baseload forecasting, the peak power demand, and the hourly load profile modeling by 2030, have been used in dialogue with the local energy company for the future predicted need of load.

Utilizing waste to create new port land
- 2018
-
In: Port Technology. ; 77:Spring, s. 118-119
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- This paper presents the most recent port expansion and the major dredging and land creation project that has been undertaken in the Port of Gävle since 2007. This project has seen the deepening and widening of the fairway to accommodate larger vessels, as well as the construction of a new cargo terminal area due to open in late 2019. This land creation work has been undertaken using contaminated sediments dredged from deepening the shipping channel.

Securing a port's future through Circular Economy : Experiences from the Port of Gävle in contributing to sustainability
- 2018

In: Marine Pollution Bulletin. - : Elsevier BV. - 0025-326X .- 1879-3363. ; 128, s. 539-547

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ports are an important player in the world, due to their role in global production and distributions systems. Theyare major intermodal transport hubs, linking the sea to the land. For all ports, a key requirement for commercialand economic viability is to retain ships using them and to remain accessible to those ships. Ports need to findapproaches to help them remain open. They must ensure their continued economic viability. At the same time,they face increasing pressure to become more environmentally and socially conscious. This paper examines theapproach taken by the Port of Gävle, Sweden, which used contaminated dredged materials to create new landusing principles of Circular Economy. The paper demonstrates that using Circular Economy principles can be aviable way of securing a port's future and contributing to its sustainability, and that of the city/region where itoperates.

Towards Ports as Energy Nodes: Strengthening Micro Energy Systems
- 2023
-
In: Maritime Decarbonization: Practical Tools, Case Studies and Decarbonization Enablers. - 9783031399367 ; , s. 337-346
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this chapter, the authors discuss the transformation of ports into micro energy hubs supplying both ships and port infrastructure, and surrounding areas such as industrial zones, communities, and cities with power. They present a framework for guiding ports on how to fully develop their energy node capabilities and play a role as model energy nodes that will demonstrate and influence the pace of decarbonization locally, regionally, and globally.
