Abstract

The study examined and assessed the contaminants produced by the predominant modes of transportation, namely container ships and trailers, both prior to and subsequent to their transfer to new operating sites after the opening of Container Center No. 7 in Kaohsiung Port. The Life cycle assessment (LCA) assessed the GHG output of the container terminal operations, of the container ships sailing in the port waters, and the container trailers entering and leaving Kaohsiung Port. After the relocation of Evergreen Shipping and Wan Hai Shipping to Container Center No. 7 and Container Center No. 5, respectively, their container ships will travel shorter sailing distances. This will increase the waterway utilization efficiency of Kaohsiung Port and the operational efficiency of the terminals. In addition, it will reduce the amount of GHG emissions produced by ships entering and leaving the port, thereby reducing their environmental impact on the Kaohsiung Port area.

高雄港货柜码头搬迁前后的温室气体排放

本研究检视及评估主要运输方式，即货柜船及拖车，在高雄港货柜中心七号启用后，在其转移至新营运地点之前及之后所产生的污染物。生命周期评估（LCA）评估了集装箱码头作业、港口水域航行的集装箱船舶和进出高雄港的集装箱拖车的温室气体排放量。长荣航运和万海航运分别搬迁到7号和5号集装箱中心后，其集装箱船的航行距离将缩短。这将提高高雄港的航道利用效率和码头的运营效率。此外，它将减少船舶进出港口产生的温室气体排放量，从而减少其对高雄港区的环境影响。

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
