Indicators of the seaport ecological state of a depressed industrial hub

The article presents the results of the seaport ecological condition indicators study of a depressed industrial hub. The traditional ranking of indicators of ecological condition on three levels is analyzed: international, national, regional. Based on the recommendations of Eco Port PERS, the requirements of ISO 14001 and environmental management and audit, EMAS analyzes the environmental indicators that are recommended for use. The scientific novelty is the justification of the necessity to use the territorial indicator of the seaport ecological condition due to the specifics of the territorial location - first, the nature of the seaport as a city-forming enterprise - secondly, the seaport - the third, deterioration of an ecological situation of an industrial site, in - the fourth. The ecological model of the seaport is based on its division into two subsystems: production and consumer, and the link between them is transport and transport processes. The necessity of maintaining the ecological and economic balance in the seaport and on the territory of the depressed industrial hub is substantiated according to the indicators of the cargo transportation intensity, the quality of transport services and the current ecological situation of the territory as a whole, which is provided by the System of ecological condition of European ports PERS
