Background: To improve port productivity, safety, and sustainability, the use of information and communication technology is being promoted as a smart port. The utilization of a terminal operation system (TOS) is important for advanced port operations, and it is necessary to organize the issues and characteristics of the TOS. Methods: The characteristics of TOSs introduced in Japan and those widely introduced in Europe and Southeast Asia will be investigated and discussed according to the port management system in Japan. Results: Japanese TOSs are characterized by a lack of automated functions, such as ship loading plans, and by the fact that they are designed to allow the crane driver to select the order of operations, which may be attributed to a system wherein stakeholders are segmented and on-site decisions are emphasized. The promotion of smart ports in Japanese-style ports requires a system for information linkage between stakeholders. Conclusions: TOS capabilities for smart ports should be implemented according to the characteristics of port management in each region, and the studies conducted in this paper are useful in examining port system implementation strategies.

現在日本においてはカーボンニュートラルポートの実現が目指されているが，港湾における気候変動対策については実証的な先行研究が少なく，実践との間のギャップにより意思決定者を十分にサポートできていない．本稿では，荷役機械の電動化やハイブリッド化，リーファーエリアへのルーフシェードの設置を行い日本の港湾環境政策を先導する博多港を事例に，コンテナターミナルにおける気候変動対策の効果を実証的に検証した．また，経済性分析と日本の港湾ガバナンスの特徴を踏まえた対策のフィージビリティについて検討した．対策の効果については確認されたものの，経済性の面からターミナルオペレーター等が主導的に講じるのは難しく，港湾ガバナンスの面からも補助金等を含めた政府のイニシアチブが重要であることが明らかとなった．
