The paper deals with the impact that an environmental way of thinking has on shipping and transport company customers regarding their preferences in choosing a transport route. Nowadays, maritime transport plays a very important role mainly in transoceanic container transport. It also deals with the statistics focused on container shipping, especially between North America and Europe. These statistics contribute to a general description of the development of container shipping on the route that is applicated in this case study. The significant impact of this kind of transport also reflects the estimation of the future development of container transport on the selected transport route. In this view, the least square method is used in this paper. This method can present the trend of development according to statistics. Thanks to these materials, this paper estimates a slight increase of the number of containers transported between North America and Europe in the near future. This increase will have a certain effect on the environment. Thus, as part of their business policy of sustainability and environment protection, customers will prefer a mode of transport and transport routes featuring a smaller effect on the environment in the future. The relevance of such a change in preferences in planning transport routes for the customer is reflected in the case study presented in this paper. So, one part of this paper is also dedicated to information about the impact of maritime transport on the environment. This part also explains the impact according to different studies that have been published in the last few years. The main contribution of this paper is also to point out the importance of this factor for the preferences of customers via the multi-criteria decision method. Using a multi-criteria decision method, it outlines how the factor of the impact on the environment can significantly change the offer made by a transport or shipping company, and thus how it represents a key element of whether the customer would prefer the given offer or focus on a competitor’s offer.

“…Meanwhile, the flood discharge capacity would decrease as siltation occurs. Except for some water conservancy projects to promote social economy and human activities (Ren et al 2020), majority of river training works are performed for the purpose of maintaining the navigable conditions and the riverbank stability. Since the 21st century, a large number of river training projects have been conducted in China, e.g.…”

A large number of river training works have been built in the inland waterway regulation projects to improve ship navigation conditions. However, water damages to river training works happen frequently in practice. Technical status evaluation of river training works is regarded as a fundamental content of inland waterway maintenance. Due to the various influencing factors and complex mechanisms, the content involved in the standard files is recognized as qualitative and no quantitative evaluation method is recommended so far. The technical status of river training works is currently evaluated through on-site investigation which is time-consuming and individual-dependent. By means of multi-source sensors, massive status data of river training works could be obtained instantaneously. Study on the technical evaluation model based on the multi-source information fusion theory attracts more attention in recent years. The classical DS evidence theory could fail as evidence conflict occurs. Thus, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient is calculated and utilized to update the probability distribution in the present study. A novel technical status evaluation model based on the improved DS evidence theory is established. The model is further verified through three case studies of traditional river training works (spur dike and flexible mattress belt) in the Yangtze River, China. The model outputs are consistent with the technical survey reports as well as the published research article. Quantitative and accurate evaluation of river training works could be accomplished by applying the proposed evaluation model. Moreover, the model could be embedded in the Inland Electronic Chart Display and Information System. The present study would provide theoretical basis for inland waterway maintenance and infrastructure monitoring in the future.
