An energy consumption approach to estimate air emission reductions in container shipping

Container shipping is the largest producer of emissions within the maritime shipping industry. Hence, measures have been designed and implemented to reduce ship emission levels. IMO’s MARPOL Annex VI, with its future plan of applying Tier III requirements, the Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships, and the Ship Energy...

Revisiting port system delineation through an analysis of maritime interdependencies among seaports

A port system is a system of two or more ports, located in proximity within a given area.
