Assessing the sustainability of shipyards; testing the green performance framework (gpf)

In this paper, data collected from eight operational shipyards provide a baseline performance level, enabling us to define appropriate measurement scales for the EPIs. The GPF is tested and evaluated in a case study, assessing the environmental performance of three operational shipyards. The case results, highlighting aspects that have a high impact on the environment, are used as input for the formulation of a three step implementation strategy for the development of a Green Shipyard concept.
