In many parts of the world, shipping-related emissions have already exceeded or are expected to soon exceed those from land-based sources. Shipping emissions can be reduced substantially by using some of the same technologies being applied to land-based sources, including cleaner engines and fuels, exhaust control methods, and operational modifications. Various ports are testing the feasibility...

Ports act as the nodes connecting water transport with land transport and play pivotal roles in logistics networks. The rapid rise in international freight volume has led to a faster growth in the throughputs of many ports. With the development of containerization, services provided by different ports could be substitutable with each other, especially those in the same region which are more com...
