The present study proposes a cost management system, based on the concepts of Activity Based Costing (ABC), and its application in a Port Authority in Brazil. An applied actionresearch study was conducted with the participation of the researchers together with the Port Authority team to present a model that meets the solution to the problem presented. The proposed model allowed for a broad view of port management is possible to identify, along with the processes, the performance of each area, operational and administrative, as well as the division of responsibilities of each team member in the organization.

Federal Law 12.305/2010 stablishes solid waste management and there are no standardized procedures in Brazilian ports. The aim of this paper was to elaborate solid waste management models, according to information from Paranaguá, Rio Grande and Santos Ports. The methodology consisted of an analysis of the carried out and planned actions in these ports and, assessment of solid waste management, by the documents identified in digital media until 2017. The Port of Paranaguá stood out for its high level of solid waste management (7.31), while the ports of Rio Grande (6.54) and Santos (5.38) are in development process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to evaluate the port community system (PCS) effect and its influence in port performance. In the Portuguese case, the port single window (JUP) is evaluated, with which it is identified. It was used analysis of the main components and the structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology, applied to the sample of 153 valid responses, obtained in the Portuguese port community. The results show different factors that constitute the port community system and big differences between the generic PCS and the Portuguese PCS (JUP). The performance factors also present strong differences. As the main contribution, we verify the different factors of PCS with impact on different performance factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this article was to evaluate the influence caused to the population by the disposal of hazardous waste from the Port of Santos in the treatment companies, and to analyze the waste storage inside them. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to count the population possibly affected by the disposal of the residues and the solid waste inventory of the port, to verify the quantity produced in the years of 2013 and 2014. The results showed a tendency to the smaller impact on the population further from the companies, besides the greater operational control of the port contribute to the improvement in solid waste management.

There are several factors able to influence on the performance achieved by a port facility, and the geographic location is among them. The aim of this work is highlight how the access features, infrastructure and nature of cargo moved might influence the performance achieved by ports in Santa Catarina. Regarding to the methodology, this is a descriptive research with qualitative and quantitative approach with multiple cases involving secondary data collection. Finally, from information collected and the comparison carried out, we verified how São Francisco do Sul and Navegantes ports are important in the port scenery in Santa Catarina. They are detached by their set of accesses, infrastructure and cargo nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
