Optimal subsidy scheme for electric ship adoption in inland shipping
To advance fleet electrification in inland waterway shipping, governments are evaluating various subsidy policies to encourage the adoption of electric ships. This paper presents a game-theoretical model for designing the optimal subsidy scheme that incorporates the interactions among key stakeholders, including the government, port operator, shipping company, and shipper. Three widely adopted subsidy schemes are analytically modeled and benchmarked: subsidies for charging station investment, electric ship purchases, and charging fees. The results indicate that all three subsidy schemes increase the level of investment in charging stations, shipper surplus, port and shipping company profits, and overall social welfare. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of these schemes is significantly influenced by charging efficiency levels. Specifically, under low charging efficiency, operational and purchase subsidy schemes lead to higher social welfare. Conversely, direct subsidies for ship purchases may result in higher investment in charging stations than direct subsidies for charging stations in certain cases. Moreover, higher charging efficiency generally favors charging station subsidy schemes because reduced waiting times improve system efficiency, increase demand, and enhance social welfare.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions.
Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
