Reviewer 2 Report
1) Abstract needs to be improved. The abstract is not clear, and some unimportant parts should be rephrased and trimmed. Some sentences also can be integrated.
2) I suggest making a new section focused on motivation for the research, a research gap (separate paragraph), and contributions of the present work.

Reviewer 3 Report
I have some suggestions and observation for the authors. The topic is interesting, but I felt a lack of scientifically sound approach.
- The originality of the paper needs to be further clarified. The contribution of the paper is not clear. In my opinion, the present form does not have sufficient results to justify the novelty of a research paper.
- The introduction is chaotic. I do not agree with some statements for example line 23:” The SDGs include Corporate and Social Responsibility…”. The introduction is made up of loose comments from various areas. Port industry is not mentioned until the end of the Introduction. It is not a coherent introduction to the research conducted. The aim of the paper and the research question is not clearly stated. There is no description of the structure of the paper at the end of the Introduction.
- The literature review is very general, not related to seaport industry.
- There is no information if other seaports use similar OLAP solutions.
- Figure 1 is not clear for a reader. I do not understand who are the Organisms? What is included in the System? What is the relationship between System and OLAP?
- In the database model (Figure 2) there are only variables associated with business, process organisation and accidents. There are no variables related to ship and port GHG emissions, noise, and other related to sustainability.
- Proofreading by a professional should be conducted to improve both language and organization quality.

Reviewer 4 Report
1. This manuscript proposed a LOAP database system. If it just made a database and a system, the contribution of this manuscript is less. The authors should dress more for the contributions.
2. In section 4.2, conceptual validation of the system, Table 6 represented a comparison of two scenarios, without and with the OLAP system. For common sense, a system would have more benefits than without a system. Is this validation of the system? The authors should provide more data of evidence to support their proposal.
3. The system was designed to detect the sustainability objectives of economic, social and political viability. Is that any limitation (or scope) for this system or study?
