“…The Canadian government has implemented new measures to surpass the 2030 emission reduction target and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (Bill C-12) proposed in November 2020 [72]. Canada's endorsement of the Clydebank Declaration in November 2021 underscores its commitment to establishing emission-free green shipping corridors and connecting ports for sustainable maritime transportation [73]. In 2022, Canada and the US announced a collaboration for the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway System Green Shipping Corridor Network Initiative, at UNFCCC COP27.…”

Understanding the oceanic carbon cycle, particularly in the Arctic regions, is crucial for addressing climate change. However, significant research gaps persist, especially regarding climate effects on the oceanic carbon cycle in these regions. This review systematically explores Arctic-related research, focusing on mechanisms, regulatory frameworks, and modelling approaches in the oceanic carbon cycle, carbon sink, climate change impact, and maritime shipping. The findings highlight the Arctic’s limited observer presence and high operational costs, hindering the data availability and studies on carbon-cycle changes. This underscores the need to integrate real-time Arctic Ocean monitoring data. Carbon sink research urgently requires direct methods to measure anthropogenic carbon uptake and address uncertainties in air–ocean carbon fluxes due to sea ice melting. Unlike terrestrial carbon cycling research, carbon-cycle studies in the oceans, which are essential for absorbing anthropogenic emissions, receive insufficient attention, especially in the Arctic regions. Numerous policies often fall short in achieving effective mitigation, frequently depending on voluntary or market-based approaches. Analyzing carbon-cycle and sink models has uncovered limitations, primarily due to their global perspective, hampering in-depth assessments of climate change effects on the Arctic regions. To pave the way for future research, enhancing Arctic Ocean climate data availability is recommended, as well as fostering international cooperation in carbon-cycle research, enforcing carbon policies, and improving regional modelling in the Arctic Ocean.

“…For example, the European Commission voted in July 2021 to adopt the "fit for 55" action plan package. The plan proposes to achieve at least a 55% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 emission levels and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 (Jeong et al, 2022). As part of the proposed legislation, the European Commission proposes to include shipping in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which operates using the "allowances and trading" principle to cap the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions that can be emitted by factories, power plants, ships, and other entities.…”

Although shipping is a relatively energy-saving and environmentally friendly mode of transportation, the growth rate of its energy consumption and carbon emissions far exceeds that of other industries. As an important response to climate change, shipping decarbonization is not only an important part of achieving the temperature control goal of the Paris Agreement but is also an important direction for the future development of China’s ecological civilization construction. China has formulated and promulgated legislation and policies on shipping decarbonization both at the national and local levels. The proposal in 2020 of the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has accelerated this process. In this context, this paper aims at reflecting on legislation and policies for decarbonization of shipping under China’s “double carbon” target, and proposing suggestions for improvement. Firstly, we systematically review China’s legislation and policies on shipping decarbonization to outline the normative system of China’s shipping carbon reduction. Secondly, this paper evaluates China’s legislation and policies on shipping decarbonization from the perspective of both achievements and challenges. Finally, this paper proposes that China’s legislation and policies for decarbonization of shipping should be further improved from two aspects: enhancing mandatory force and expanding normative content.

“…Indeed, building green infrastructure for the shipping industry in the global trade network requires a huge investment. Therefore, the creation of GSC requires policies that ease the financial burden on the industry to switch from fossil fuels to green fuels through green fuel pricing or direct support for the construction of green shipping and port infrastructure, as well as support for the additional costs associated with port use [18]. In particular, the liner shipping industry is cooperating internationally to establish four shipping segments as green shipping operators, as summarized in Table 1 [19].…”

Maritime shipping is considered a major air pollutant that directly affects global warming and climate change. This study aims to design an emission control route (ECR) that can contribute to long-term initiatives along with emission prevention policies. Applying a scenario analysis, this paper has analyzed the impact of ECR implementation on air quality in the shipping route between Korea and Japan. In this study, the ECR is defined as eco-friendly shipping routes that recommend maintaining a specific level of speed while sailing. Based on the navigation trajectories of 55 O/Ds, which were extracted by the automatic identification system (AIS) data of 135 container ships for each port call during one year, the ECR domains were designated. To analyze the introduction impacts, this study employed a scenario analysis based on the current Vessel Speed Reduction Program (VSRP) recommendation of 12 knots or less. The results demonstrated that the introduction of ECR in the liner services between Korea and Japan would increase the average travel time by 10.47–16.98%. However, according to the results of the scenario analysis, the introduction of the ECR can reduce emissions by 25.65% to 39.73%. By suggesting the initial concept of ECR and analyzing the emission reduction effects of its implementation, this study provides useful insights for a balance between economic and environmental performance.
