Summary: The maritime industry plays a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An analysis of CO2 emissions in the Western Singapore Straits was conducted using AIS voyage data and static information from SG-MDH. Two methodologies were applied to estimate emission volume per vessel per hour, providing insights to review Singapore's emission control measures.

Summary: Maritime shipping plays a crucial role in global economic growth, and efficient green maritime technologies are essential for the profitability and sustainability of shipping carriers. The lack of coordination between bunker procurement and vessel operation scheduling with applicable maritime technologies poses challenges to the maritime industry. To address these challenges, an integrated model is proposed in this study, considering financial technology (bunker hedging) and operational bunker cost efficiency. The optimized integration of financial and operational strategies leads to lower total costs and higher revenue, providing a decision tool for bunker management under environmental regulations.

Summary: This paper investigates the problem of vessel scheduling and bunker management with speed deviations (VSBMSD) for liner shipping in the presence of collaborative agreements. By establishing the worst-case scenario of the maximum bunker consumption function with vessel sailing speed as an independent variable, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is developed to minimize the total liner shipping route service cost. The results of computational experiments indicate that VSBMSD in the presence of collaborative agreements can enable shipping companies to design vessel schedules reasonably and reduce the total cost of liner shipping route service by at least 2.95%.

Summary: This study aims to verify the impact of using automatic mooring systems with vacuum suction cups on the emissions of polluting gases in container ship traffic facilities. Two different calculation methods were used (Environmental Protection Agency and Environmental and Engineering Consultancy) to compare and obtain the reduction in emissions per twenty-foot equivalent unit during mooring maneuvers at these terminals. The paper concludes with a discussion on the reductions in emissions obtained and the benefits of installing automatic mooring systems with vacuum suction cups in commercial ports near population centers.

Summary: The use of electricity and hydrogen to reduce CO2 emissions from ships in unprofitable coastline transport has the potential to improve island development and protect biodiversity and nature. State aid should be provided to shipping companies to facilitate the adoption of new technologies. Research shows that electric ferries can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and operating costs compared to traditional marine diesel ships.

Summary: The study proposes five allocation options for international shipping CO2 emissions, showing that a clear majority of emissions would be distributed to ten countries under each option, with variations in the top ten countries and the amount allotted to individual countries. The most effective and equitable allocation mechanism would assign emissions to countries of ship owners and operate under the UNFCCC.

Summary: This study examines the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) projects on CO2 emissions in specific cities of China. Panel data analysis is used to compare CO2 emissions in 18 treatment cities with HSR and 10 control cities without HSR. The study finds that while CO2 emissions increased during the construction phase, HSR projects significantly reduced CO2 emissions in most treatment cities during the operation period. The study also highlights the importance of human capital and technological innovation in achieving greater CO2 reduction effects. These findings provide empirical evidence for the environmental benefits of building HSR and emphasize the need for improving HSR technologies and expanding HSR networks.

Summary: The study found that the CO2 injection rate significantly affects the distribution and saturation of CO2 in porous media, and that geophysical parameters Vp and electrical resistivity ?* can be used to monitor two-phase flow. Resistivity is particularly sensitive to CO2 saturation, while Vp is related to the size of CO2 volumes.

Summary: This study re-examines the effects of CO2 conversion rate on the net CO2 emission rate in photothermal catalytic systems and finds that achieving net-zero carbon emission is more challenging than previously thought. The use of green hydrogen source is crucial for carbon neutrality in photothermal CO2 catalysis.

Summary: The study found that the global port rank-size distribution is characterized by midsize ports with high traffic volatility, but the largest ports are strengthening their position over time. Port growth does not lead to convergence in port size, except in the Americas. Ports show relatively low mobility in the container traffic distribution, with downward mobility being much higher than upward mobility.

Summary: Researchers have developed a methodology to assess the impact of including maritime transportation in the EU Emission Trading System. Based on data from over 38,000 European voyages conducted by oil tankers from 2017 to 2019, it is estimated that the industry could contribute up to 1.4 billion USD per year to carbon abatement measures, even at a low carbon allowance price. The study shows that the ETS provides sufficient incentives for specific abatement measures, especially for wind-assistance technologies.

Summary: The transport sector accounts for approximately 25% of global energy use and fast decarbonization in this sector is necessary to mitigate climate change. The priority should be to replace coal fired electricity production with renewables, gradually electrify road transport, and continue using fossil fuels in shipping and aviation.

Summary: This paper analyzes the factors influencing stakeholder participation in the Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization. The study finds that proposals are mainly submitted by rich countries with a vested interest in international trade and strong political accountability. Less active participation is observed among countries vulnerable to climate change and lacking adaptive capacity, unless they are large ownership countries. Ship-owners' interests and shipping-related associations dominate the submissions from Intergovernmental and Non-Governmental Organizations. The lack of diversity among the participants is highlighted, and the need for wider participation of vulnerable countries and NGOs is emphasized to counterbalance the strong involvement of large shipping nations and industry representatives.

Summary: This study examines the impact of a maritime bunker levy on ship-owner profits, trade flows, and emissions. Using standard and augmented gravity models with data from 2016, the research estimates the effects of changes in transit time, transit cost, and vessel speed on grain and soybean trade flows. The results suggest that a bunker levy of 50 USD per tonne of fuel or less does not affect the optimal speed of the vessel, contradicting theoretical models that predict a decrease in speed and carbon emissions with increased fuel costs. Bunker levies exceeding 100 USD per tonne may be necessary to reduce carbon emissions, particularly for agricultural commodities sensitive to trade costs and transport time.

Summary: This study evaluates the competitiveness of the Northern Sea Route for container shipping services, taking into account changes in ice thickness throughout the year. It finds that the NSR liner services are competitive for only a limited period of 1.5 months per year, due to factors such as ice blockage, schedule integrity, and costs.
