集装箱码头是一个高能量需求的组织。港务局和集装箱码头管理委员会的主要关切是优先考虑对尽量减少能源消耗有更好影响的投资。这项研究提出了一个工具，在港口发生的过程的分类。相关的能源使用（芸香）指数的描述和应用的案例研究，瓦伦西亚，这是地中海的集装箱运输的主要港口的港务局。三个不同的功能单位进行了讨论的评估：二十英尺当量单位（TEU），货物处理，并在港口运营的几个集装箱船。根据芸香指数的建议实施的具体项目验证了该工具的有效性，并使能源强度降低了29.5%，2008年至2016年期间每个TEU的能源成本降低了40%。但仍有改进的余地，为此提出了项目线。芸香Index与能源管理体系ISO 50001认证的合作伙伴关系确保了高质量的数据，为管理委员会的决策过程提供了信心。
A container terminal is a high energy demanding organization. Giving priority to the investments that have a better impact on the minimization of energy consumption is a prime concern of the management board of the Port Authority and container terminals. This study presents a tool for the classification of the processes that take place in the port. The Relevant Use of Energy (RUE) index is described and applied to a case study, the Port Authority of Valencia, which is the main port of the Mediterranean in container traffic. Three different functional units have been discussed for the assessment: Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU), cargo handled, and several container ships that operate in the port. The implementation of specific projects following the recommendation of the RUE Index validated the tool and allowed a reduction of the energy intensity of 29.5%, and a 40% reduction of the cost of energy per TEU between 2008 and 2016. However, there is still room for improvement, and project lines are proposed for this matter. A partnership between the RUE Index and an energy management system ISO 50001 certified and ensures quality data giving confidence to the decision-making process of the management board.
