If shipping is to limit its greenhouse gas emissions so that global warming is maintained below 2°C as agreed by the IMO in April 2018 and in line with 2015 Paris Agreement, urgent action is needed in terms of environmentally friendly technologies uptake, operational measures and new forms of propulsion based on alternative fuels. While some research has appeared in the last decade on operational and technological measures aimed at reducing emissions for shipping, limited focus has been put on the economic and environmental impacts of a fuel shift. This research aims at analysing the alternative fuel options available for shipping and assess the emission reductions obtainable through a fuel shift. The paper also provides insights on the costs associated with such fuel transition. Through the development of a simulation based on existing information of alternative fuel costs and availability, the paper shows that a maximum of 24% greenhouse gas emission reduction can be achieved by using alternative fuels. Such reduction, however, can be obtained at varying cost levels. An optimal fleet mix is provided for 2050 as guidance for policy makers and the shipping sector.","PeriodicalId":44910,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transport Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84212270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to do so, a survey-based evaluation tool of the quality of management practices was developed. In addition, a set of operational and financial performance indicators of such port authorities and their ports was calculated. The differences in operational and financial performance between port authorities with a high and a low quality of management practices were analysed by Student t-tests and the relation between management practices and port performance was accessed through linear regression analysis. The results indicated that the better managerial practices have a positive impact on port authorities' financial performance but have no significant impact on ports' operational performance. The study also found that port authorities controlled by States and Municipalities have better financial and operational results and use more management practices than those managed by the Brazilian Federal Government.","PeriodicalId":44910,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transport Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82839100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice, though, decision-making takes into account many other aspects that are more. or less political. When properly defined, they may be introduced in the decision process through multi-criteria analysis. Most important among these aspects are redistributive effects, which are, typically, associated to territorial, social and environmental considerations. There are, however, some important redistribution effects that have never been properly analysed and quantified until now. They are related to the evolution, throughout the projects' lifespan, of the costs and benefits of the project affecting successive (overlapped) generations, and of the financing structure adopted, which determines who the final payers will be: either users, through tolls or tariffs for the use of the project, and/or taxpayers. Relating the actual payment for the investment to the net benefits occurring to the users and citizens in general for each generation, it is possible to ascertain if there is a balanced intergenerational distribution of burdens and benefits over the whole project lifecycle.
