Ports around the world as well as part of the local societies also deal with sustainability issues. The sustainability work performed by each port needs to be assessed and report. For this the sustainability report can be used. In this master thesis, a sustainability assessment of the Gothenburg Port Authority has been conducted aiming to investigate the link between organisational structure and the sustainability work performed in the organisation. The sustainability report of the Gothenburg’s Port Authority has been used as a tool to assess the organisation’s sustainability work.

Recommendations 2 Introduction • The World Ports Climate Action Program (WPCAP) initiative was launched in 2018 to address climate change • Member ports are working together in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through collaborative actions and joint research. • Among others, the initiative aims to accelerate the development of power-to- ship (P2S) solutions in ports. This task is controlled by the Working Group 3 of the WPCAP. • As a first step towards this objective, a state-of-the art analysis of P2S solutions currently in operation has been developed. This analysis is based on the answers to a questionnaire. 3 Questionnaire The ports that have been part of the survey are as follows: • Port of Rotterdam • HAROPA- Port of Le Havre • Port of Zeebrugge • Port of Kristiansand • Port of Ystad • Port of Hamburg • Port of Vancouver • Port of Halifax • Port of Seattle • Port of Gothenburg • Port of New York & New Jersey • Ports of Stockholm • Port of Long Beach • Port of Barcelona • Port of Los Angeles • Port of Kemi These ports have P2S solutions in place. The sample of 16 ports is considered only partially representative taking into account that approximately 65 ports worldwide declare they have OPS solutions. 4 1.

The records that were donated to USC were chiefly those that were generated in the 1940s and 50s as part of the Tidelands controversies, concerning the Los Angeles / Long Beach / Wilmington harbor areas, and documenting channels, wetlands, islands, elevations, and shoreline. In addition to many maps, drawings, and historical files, the records consist of many volumes of land surveys (done by civil engineer Francis Bates) which were done in the old tidelands area in the 1930s and 40s. Mr. Bates also obtained copies of many of the original rancho documents for this area (e.g. Rancho Los Cerritos) to provide a complete history of the harbor, onshore and offshore.

(workshop held May 19) May 17-May 31 Writing final report 1 City profile: Situated on the west coast of Sweden, Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden with a population of approximately 540,000 people. In its metropolitan area, closer to a million peo- ple reside. The city is historically a centre of trade and shipping and the port of Gothenburg is the largest port in the Nordic countries. Apart from trade, also manufacturing and industry has played a significant role in the city‟s growth and development with major companies such as Volvo, SKF and Ericsson originating in Gothenburg. Over the last couple of decades, the city has however undergone a shift from industrial production to high-tech, knowledge-based and service industries. This development is not necessarily equally distributed and the city is struggling with growing socio-economic disparities. The city is divided into ten city districts with significant administrative responsibilities. The built up area stretch into three other municipalities, Partille, Mölndal and Härryda. Gothen- burg is also the metropole of the Gothenburg region that consist of 13 municipalities.
