Abstract
Driven by global sulphur strategy, reducing sulfur emissions from the global shipping industry is of great significance for achieving sustainable development goals related to addressing climate change. This study explores the impact of government sulfur emission policies on the choice of mooring modes, include anchoring and drifting, for shipping lines. In this study, a bi-level programming model is constructed and linearized to minimize the total vessel emissions in emission control areas during the planning horizon and the total cost of each type of vessel. The leader of this model is the department that issues regulations and decides on the anchorage to regulate whether marine gas oil must be used. The followers are the shipping lines that execute transportation tasks and choose whether a vessel will anchor or drift. In addition, many numerical experiments and sensitivity analysis are conducted, and data and theoretical support for relevant decision-making are provided.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
