“…Research of Liao, Tseng and Lu (2009) in Northern Taiwan showed that transportation by means of intermodal transportation by ship, shore facilities and trucks is so effective and loading efficiency resulted in 60% reduction in pollution. Another research by Liao et al (2010) illustrated more reduction in Co2 by changing the direction of established ports to new port of Taipei. Regarding pollution of transportation in London, Zanni and Bristow (2009) stated that integration and using intermodal distribution channels led to 25.7% reduction of pollution.…”

As coastal production costs in many countries, producers are moving inland to remain competitive with other countries. Also, container transport volumes continue to grow, the sea flow generates almost proportional inland flow; the links with hinterland will become critical factors for the seaports functionality. Development of dry ports is an important part of intermodal transport which play an important role in improving hinterlands. Successful implementation dry port depends on identification and description of required capabilities to develop advanced intermediate terminal, discover existing deficiency in these capabilities and their effects of each other. This article fill the gaps of implementation of dry ports by offering a conceptual model. To do so, this current study is done in a complicated process in five stages of: review of literature, Delphi, Gap analysis, fuzzy Dematel and Structural equation modeling (SEM). 17 indexes of Delphi model were extracted and classified in 8 groups. The identified gap and causal relations enabled presentation of a model which was tested and verified by Partial Least Squares (PLS).

“…Of these, 34.6 million tonnes were from the transport sector, accounting for 13.1% of the total emissions. Moreover, Taiwan's CO 2 emissions increased from 129 million tonnes in 1990, to 305 million tonnes in 2005, recording a rise of 2.4 times (Liao et al, 2010). Therefore, working to reduce such emissions is an important issue for all sectors of the economy, and it is regarded as one of the greatest challenges now faced by the shipping industry (Giziakis and Christodoulou, 2010).…”

“…Zervas (2006) stated that reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is regarded as the best way to slow down or minimise the impact of climate change. Since the burning of fossil fuels is the major source of CO 2 emissions, changing the way we use energy in the transport sector is of considerable importance (Zervas, 2006;Liao et al, 2010).…”

This paper aims to empirically examine the impact of environmental management on environmental performance and firm performance in Taiwanese maritime firms. Three critical environmental management dimensions were identified based on factor analysis: environmental management practices, environmental management auditing, and environmental management investment. A structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to examine the effects of environmental management on environmental performance and firm performance. The results indicated that environmental management had significantly positive effects on environmental performance and firm performance. However, environmental performance was not found to be related to firm performance in this study.

“…Meanwhile, the bottom up assessment is currently the most commonly used method to estimate vessel-source air pollution (Trozzi et al, 1995;Hua, 1997;Whall et al, 2002;Vangheluwe et al, 2007;Schrooten et al, 2008;SCG, 2009). In Taiwan, although limited researches focused on vessel-source emissions of carbon dioxide and particulate matters, the emissions of vessel-source SO 2 has not been well investigated (Dong et al, 2002;Peng et al, 2005;Liao et al, 2010). Since top down method is typically used for global estimation, this study used bottom up method based on activity intensity to calculate SO 2 emissions of merchant vessels in the Port of Kaohsiung.…”

While maritime shipping is currently the most reliable form of cargo transport for global trade, it causes significant air pollution. The number of inbound and outbound vessels in the Port of Kaohsiung, as well as the cargo throughput, is the highest in Taiwan. These vessels emit considerable amounts of air pollutants. Two methods based on vessel activity intensity were adopted in this study to estimate the emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) generated by the consumption of fuel oils by merchant vessels in the Port of Kaohsiung from 2006 to 2010. Emissions were estimated to be 3,229-3,889 tonnes and 1,395-1,777 tonnes using a method based on cargo capacity and vessel engine activity time, respectively. These estimates are equivalent to 3.7% to 4.5% of the overall SO 2 emissions in Kaohsiung City. The difference between these estimates was due to varying parameters being adopted for each method, such as cargo throughput capacity, vessel power and the emission correction factor related to fuel oils. The SO 2 emissions of merchant vessels can be mitigated with the use of an incentive discount system. It is also estimated that when the shore power facilities in the Port of Kaohsiung are used to reduce emissions during vessel hotelling, the additional power requirement would be 6.6% of the overall power consumption of Kaohsiung City for the year 2010.
