Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Container Ports

This paper has derived the macro traffic flow model of carbon dioxide emissions from two Japanese container ports. If the port's throughput and transshipment rate are available, the model can be applied to any port in the world. The results of trial estimations for selected ports in different countries reveal the seriousness of the impact of container ports on global warming. The paper argues that the situation will worsen if the recent competition among the larger container ports is intensified. To mitigate this outcome, an urgent international agreement is required to impose on container ports reasonable compensation for their carbon dioxide emission control.
