Integrating ports into green shipping corridors: Drivers, challenges, and pathways to implementation.

Green Shipping Corridors (GSCs) are seen as a set of actions for reducing maritime Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Nonetheless, various stakeholders, including ports, encounter distinctive challenges when participating in GSCs. This study focuses on the integration of ports within GSCs and identifies the drivers and challenges that ports face in joining GSCs by interviewing various stakeholders from ports, shipping companies, governments, and industrial representatives engaged in GSCs.

A review on barriers to and solutions for shipping decarbonization: What could be the best policy approach for shipping decarbonization?

Shipping industry, like other industrial sectors, suffers from an energy efficiency gap. The majority of the literature focuses more on identifying barriers than proposing solutions. This study seeks to achieve two objectives: first, to provide a repository of barriers/solutions for shipping decarbonization, and second, to identify an optimal policy framework to combine all the solutions in the best way.

The development of a transdisciplinary policy framework for shipping companies to mitigate underwater noise pollution from commercial vessels.

One of the newly emerging environmental issues is underwater noise pollution. It has both negative environmental and socio-economic impacts and threatens sustainable shipping. While other types of shipping pollutants have been regulated and societal awareness has been raised, due to the intangible characteristics of underwater noise pollution, there is neither societal awareness nor an international legally binding instrument to mitigate underwater noise pollution.

Ports' technical and operational measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission and improve energy efficiency: A review.

This study reviews and categorises ports' technical and operational measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission and improve energy efficiency. Through a systematic review, both measures in the portside including land transport, and in the ship-port interface, were identified and structured into 7 main categories and 19 subcategories based on 214 studies. The measures' characteristics, abatement potential, best practices and key issues were clarified.
