Abstract

This study presents a novel evaluation framework to compare and optimize shore power deployment policies across shipping networks. The framework considers a wide range of policy instruments, including incentives, emission reduction regulations, and public funding. In addition to assessing the business case for shore power adoption, it incorporates the influence of alternative fuels and their implications for deployment strategies, offering a more holistic approach than previous models have suggested.

A test case on the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes dry and liquid cargo shipping network illustrates the framework’s application for policymakers. Under appropriate policies, shore power could cover 30–50% of vessels’ berth energy use. Achieving large-scale adoption would require an estimated government investment of $257 million USD in infrastructure. With projected cost savings of $240 million USD in external costs and a cumulative reduction of 2,556 kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2040, this scenario represents the most compelling policy option.

包括替代燃料在内的岸电部署战略和政策

本研究提出了一个新的评估框架来比较和优化跨航运网络的岸电部署政策。该框架考虑了广泛的政策工具，包括激励措施、减排法规和公共资金。除了评估岸上电力采用的商业案例外，它还纳入了替代燃料的影响及其对部署策略的影响，提供了比以前模型所建议的更全面的方法。圣劳伦斯和五大湖干货和液体货物运输网络的一个测试案例说明了该框架对政策制定者的应用。在适当的政策下，岸电可以覆盖30-50%的船舶泊位能源使用。要实现大规模采用，估计需要政府在基础设施方面投资2.57亿美元。预计到2040年，该方案将节省2.4亿美元的外部成本，累计减少255.6千吨二氧化碳当量，是最具吸引力的政策选择。

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.
