Abstract

Abstract:In the present research, a methodology is developed to determine the relationship between the variables that define the use of liquefied natural gas in short sea shipping in Europe, through the use of data-mining techniques. The project takes place in the European space, which includes data from 30 countries, the 28 members of the European Union plus Norway and Iceland. A Bayesian network is constructed with the 35 indicators selected, which are classified into five different categories: international trade and transport, economy and finance, population and social condition, environment and energy, and institutional and political. It is found that capacity of liquefied natural gas regasification terminals under construction and modal distribution of cargo transport by inland waters are the two root nodes of the network. In addition, the variables of transport and international trade and economy and finance become the most important in the decision to implement liquefied natural gas as marine fuel, while those of environment and energy and population and condition are the most dependent on the network.

海港可持续发展:利用人工智能评估短途海运中液化天然气的利用

摘要：在本研究中，通过使用数据挖掘技术，开发了一种方法来确定定义欧洲短海运中液化天然气使用的变量之间的关系。该项目在欧洲空间进行，其中包括来自30个国家、欧盟28个成员国以及挪威和冰岛的数据。贝叶斯网络由选定的35个指标构成，这些指标分为五个不同的类别：国际贸易和运输、经济和金融、人口和社会状况、环境和能源以及制度和政治。研究发现，在建液化天然气再气化码头的能力和内陆水域货物运输的模式分布是该网络的两个根节点。此外，在决定将液化天然气用作船用燃料时，运输和国际贸易以及经济和金融等变量成为最重要的变量，而环境和能源以及人口和条件等变量则最依赖于网络。
