Abstract

Establishing green shipping corridors (GSCs) is a major initiative for addressing maritime decarbonization. This study discusses the intricate set of factors influencing value creation within GSCs, categorizing them into three pivotal domains and further dissecting them into 19 sub-categories. Employing the Fuzzy SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio) method, the hierarchical data from an international panel of 30 experts is rigorously evaluated. The findings reveal compelling insights, highlighting the significance of “Environmental Factors” among the identified categories. Findings conclude “Energy Efficiency, Harvesting and Conservation,” “Attracting Green Investments,” and “Air Quality Improvement” to be the critical sub-factors. Additionally, we place significant emphasis on the social category of factors, which is often overlooked in previous research. One of the key contributions of this study is the welfare of surrounding communities, which has been ranked fourth among all sub-categories. The study provides a valuable framework for stakeholders navigating the complexities of sustainable shipping practices.

绿色航运走廊价值创造要素评价

建立绿色航运走廊是解决海上脱碳问题的重大举措。本研究讨论了影响gsc内价值创造的复杂因素，将其分为三个关键领域，并进一步细分为19个子类别。采用模糊权重逐步评估法，对30位国际专家小组的分层数据进行严格评估。研究结果揭示了令人信服的见解，突出了“环境因素”在确定类别中的重要性。研究结果表明，“能源效率、收获和节约”、“吸引绿色投资”和“空气质量改善”是关键的子因素。此外，我们非常重视社会类别的因素，这在以前的研究中经常被忽视。这项研究的关键贡献之一是周边社区的福利，这在所有子类别中排名第四。该研究为利益相关者导航可持续航运实践的复杂性提供了一个有价值的框架。

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.
