Impact assessment of regulations on container shipping decarbonization: An evidence-based case study
This case study explores the impact of four IMO and EU regulations addressing the green transition challenges of international shipping. The effects of these regulations on a sample fleet are evaluated through an optimization model, and the possibility of replacing the criticized IMO regulation on Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) with a mid-term measure combination is examined. The results reveal that while current regulations incentivize energy efficiency measures and alternative fuel adoption, more is needed to meet the targets. The study stresses the importance of stronger incentives to encourage investments in green fuels and accelerate the industry’s transition. The results imply that an IMO mid-term technical–economic measure combination offers greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness in reduction strategies, potentially overcoming the limitations of the existing CII. Although the study can contribute to the ongoing discourse on the recently agreed IMO Net-Zero Framework, it mainly aims at assisting shipping companies navigate current regulatory frameworks.
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.
