- Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and classify the various initiatives developed and implemented across the globe for the abatement of maritime air emissions. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, an extensive survey of various sources was conducted, including the official reports of international and regional institutions, government policy documents, port authority websites, classification society pages, private firms’ sites and the academic literature. The initiatives were then categorized in accordance with the classification of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and analyzed using the SPSS Statistics software to give some insight into their frequencies and the interrelationships between them. Findings – This exploratory review resulted in the establishment of a comprehensive global database of initiatives encouraged by the whole range of shipping stakeholders and decision-makers for the reduction of shipping air emissions. According to the findings, economic incentives that provide motivation for the adoption of less environmentally damaging practices are the most commonly used initiative, followed by infrastructure investments and informative policies. Research limitations/implications – The results provide implications for further research that include an in-depth analysis of ports’ policies, as well as an evaluation of initiatives applied on a large scale to map their emissions reduction potential for shipping. Originality/value – The main contribution of this paper is the identification and analysis of all the diverse initiatives implemented globally in a comprehensive way and its dealing with air pollution from shipping as a whole.

Strategic Framework for Environmentally Differentiated Port Dues

Ingår i: Green Ports: Inland and Seaside Sustainable Transportation Strategies. - Oxford, UK : Elsevier. - 9780128140543
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As key hubs in international transport chains, ports have the potential to promote the choice and composition of sustainable transport solutions as a form of corporate social responsibility. They can promote the internalization of both social and environmental externalities by means of differentiated fees and other incentives, seeking to influence factors such as the efficiency of the transport distribution, the selection of the mode of transport, and the type of vehicles and fuels used, all of which have an effect on the environmental impact of hinterland distribution of cargo. This chapter aims to identify the green incentives and measures related to hinterland transport that are available to ports and analyze their feasibility.

The role of dry ports in solving seaport disruptions: A Swedish case study
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Transport Geography. - : Elsevier BV. - 0966-6923. ; 80
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper analyzes the effects on Swedish hinterland logistics of a port labor disruption that occurred in the Port of Gothenburg's container terminal in 2016–2017. Because of this dispute, several companies initiated mitigation strategies by moving their cargo by truck or rail in the area, thus utilizing the inherent advantages of hinterland locations and dry ports. Researching hinterland logistics in Sweden, this article conducts a case study on a dry port and the warehouse industry. The results show that the traffic share of inland terminals was higher during and soon after the conflict. Thus, this study suggests that dry ports are significant as potential solutions for this kind of disruption.

Environmentally differentiated port dues
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is the final report of the research project Environmentally differentiated port dues. The purposes of the research are to examine how environmentally differentiated dues and incentives in ports can reduce the environmental impact caused by transport modes that call at the port, and their consequences from legal, political and goods flow perspectives. Both land and sea transport are addressed. The project examines how ports, as important parts of international transport chains, can contribute to the environmental and climate objectives, by introducing environmentally differentiated port dues to promote a shift to more environmentally efficient transport, vehicles, ships, technologies and alternative fuels.
