The advantages of environmental management are not only for customer satisfaction and corporate image but also for cost saving and environment protection. The paper reviewed the development of green port in Thailand and used case study of Laem Chabang port (LCP) to figure out the green port assessment criteria and to set up the Environmental Performance Indicators. The paper conducted entropy approach to analysis environmental performance indicators (EPIs) of LCP based on secondary data from 2011 to 2014. Main findings of this paper indicate the top 5 rank EPIs including TKN in wastewater, Chromium in soil and sediment, TSP in the air, Phytoplankton biodiversity, and Zooplankton biodiversity respectively.
