Abstract

The shipping industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, posing a significant challenge to achieving the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 decarbonization targets. The Poseidon Principles provide a framework for financial institutions to align their portfolios with these climate goals, using metrics like the Annual Efficiency Ratio and Carbon Intensity Indicator. However, misalignments between these climate metrics and financial systems create barriers to accessing capital, hindering investments in low-carbon technologies. This study applies Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping to examine the complex relationships between environmental performance, regulatory compliance, and financial accessibility in the maritime industry. The Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping model identifies key leverage points for improving access to capital, such as enhancing energy efficiency, adopting innovative technologies, and fostering policy interventions like carbon pricing. Simulations analyses provide actionable insights, offering a comprehensive framework for overcoming funding challenges and supporting sustainable, low-carbon maritime transportation.

资助可持续航运：波塞冬原则的模糊认知映射方法

航运业是全球温室气体排放的主要贡献者，对实现国际海事组织2050年脱碳目标构成了重大挑战。波塞冬原则为金融机构提供了一个框架，通过使用年度效率比和碳强度指标等指标，使其投资组合与这些气候目标保持一致。然而，这些气候指标与金融体系之间的偏差造成了获取资本的障碍，阻碍了对低碳技术的投资。本研究运用模糊认知映射来检视海运业环境绩效、法规遵从性与财务可及性之间的复杂关系。模糊认知映射模型确定了改善资本获取的关键杠杆点，如提高能源效率、采用创新技术和促进碳定价等政策干预。模拟分析提供了可行的见解，为克服资金挑战和支持可持续、低碳的海上运输提供了全面的框架。

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.
