Ecoport is a model that balances dynamic environment and economic development, and a strategic trend in the development of seaports in the world.

In the world, the "Eco-port" model is no longer strange. It is a port based on green economic growth criterias for a long-term plan. Currently, many European ports have joined the Ecoports Association (Ecoports) and have granted a valid "Ecoport" certificate. In US, Long Beach is one of the pioneer ports in the field of cargo transportation and environmental protection in the world.

In Vietnam in 2018, SNP Cat Lai was the first unit winning the APEC Green Port Award due to meeting the criteria of Green Port System Program (GPAS).

The Board of Directors is determined to building DQP as an "Ecological Port" in the future. Gemadept Dung Quat is urgently developing "green" criterias:

• Smoke, dust control and noise reduction
• Develop water management plan at port
• Apply science and technology to determine ballast water samples
• Build a system to classify and manage garbage in accordance with regulations
• Energy saving
• Enhance many patches of grass and trees around the port as well as use green energy.

Gemadept Dung Quat Port has successfully built the Management System of Environment - Occupational Safety and Occupational Health - HSSE (Health Security Safety Environment) according to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 and management apparatus. At the same time, DQP completes legal documents on environmental and energy management based on current regulations, local and industry.
