The purpose of this study is to study previous and current studies on the subject of green ports and green marine logistics in order to study and rank the factors affecting the transformation of Imam Khomeini port into a green port, which lasted from October 2017 to September 2016. This research is a descriptive-survey research and using a hierarchical analysis model, the factors affecting the transformation of Imam Khomeini port into a green port have been ranked. This study examines the greening of the world's ports and how to implement their proposed solutions in Imam Khomeini port. By conducting this research, it became clear that by using the strategy of involving actors in the maritime industry in a fully operational way and not only in theory in the discussion of port greening, the infrastructure of the greening project in Imam Khomeini port can be done. As a result, among the main factors, internal factors with a relative weight of 0.771 are recognized as having the first priority. The sub-factor of coastal power supply to vessels with a relative weight of 0.271 is known as the first priority among the sub-factors of internal and the sub-factor of the speed of vessels with a relative weight of 0.326 among the sub-factors of externality.
