Vietnam Seaports Association
The Vietnam Seaports Association (VPA) introduces two practical handbooks to support VPA member ports, port operators, shipping and logistics companies in their green transition. Both handbooks will be distributed to VPA member ports in November 2026.
- Handbook on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Reporting
The handbook guides companies through defining inventory boundaries, identifying emission sources, collecting data, calculating emissions, ensuring data quality and preparing inventory reports. It includes reference emission factors, port equipment parameters, templates and worked examples.
- Practical Handbook on Green Port Criteria (TCCS 02:2022/CHHVN)
The handbook explains the criteria, scoring methodology, self-assessment process and preparation of declaration documentation. It also provides guidance on supplementary quantitative indicators and alignment with commonly used international standards.
The two handbooks are designed to work together: energy and emissions data gathered for GHG inventories can also support the indicators and evidence needed for green port self-assessment.
Together, they help companies organise their work systematically, maintain traceable data and adapt the guidance to their operational circumstances.
