Abstract

The maritime emission trading system (METS) is adopted to reduce ship CO2 emissions. This paper utilizes the forming of liner alliances under the METS to further reduce ship CO2 emissions. To investigate the effectiveness of forming liner alliances on ship CO2 emission reduction, we propose a liner ship operation planning problem for a liner alliance, which determines fleet deployment, slot co-chartering and emission permit trading. A multi-objective programming model is adopted to deal with the proposed problem. By considering three liner carriers, numerical results show that, i) the total ship CO2 emission reduction rate for these three liner carriers can be up to 13.5 %, by forming the liner alliance; ii) for any of these three liner carriers, the ship CO2 emission reduction rate can be up to 10 %∼15 %, by forming the liner alliance; iii) high fuel prices help liner alliances balance the trade-off between the operational cost and ship CO2 emissions.

海运排放权交易体制下的班轮联盟减排

采用船舶排放权交易制度（METS）来减少船舶的二氧化碳排放。本文利用METS下班轮联盟的形成，进一步减少船舶CO2排放。为了研究班轮联盟对船舶CO2减排的效果，本文提出了班轮联盟的班轮运营规划问题，该问题决定了班轮联盟的船队部署、舱位共租和排放许可交易。采用多目标规划模型对该问题进行求解。以三家班轮运输公司为例，数值计算结果表明：1)三家班轮运输公司组成班轮联盟，船舶总CO2减排率可达13.5%；ii)对于这三家班轮承运人中的任何一家，通过组建班轮联盟，船舶二氧化碳减排率可达10% ~ 15%；iii)高燃油价格有助于班轮联盟平衡运营成本和船舶二氧化碳排放之间的权衡。

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.
