As well as in other industries ports and terminals have evolved, entering in a stage of digital transformation and adoption of practices linked to the Industry 4.0 framework. Starting from this, the concept of Port 4.0 was born, which seeks to implement technologies that increase and automate the performance of tasks and enable greater integration of information and processes, such as Big Data, Iot, cloud computing etc. The adoption of these technologies leads to benefits to the port sector such as: increased competitive advantages, gains in sustainability and advances in intermodality between transport modes. Although this issue is currently a hot topic in the sector, the application of Industry 4.0 concepts in the port segment is still recent and little discussed when it comes to socio-environmental management. In this sense, this paper sought to evaluate the implementation of a Port Environmental Performance Assessment system based on the concepts of Port 4.0, combining available technologies, creation of environmental indicators and compliance with applicable legal requirements. As a result, a layout proposal was obtained, segmented into three main consecutive work flows: Planning, IoT/Big Data and Business Intelligence and Analytics. First, the environmental license and its respective environmental conditions were considered, since they represent the environmental aspects most prone to cause negative impacts. Then, the technologies available for automating the parameters studied were listed, proceeding to build an environmental database. The final stage is materialized with the definition of indicators and targets that allow a more effective control of compliance with environmental conditions. In addition, the information obtained can also be displayed in interactive interfaces for internal use or for presentation to environmental/regulatory bodies. In conclusion, despite the socio-environmental theme being incipient in the Port 4.0 context and it’s current technological limitations, there is a potential to start the automation process in this segment.
