“…Schoyen and Odeck [25] evaluated the efficiency of Norwegian container ports and compared them with some Nordic and U.K. container ports. Besides, Nicole [26] developed the DEA method to analyse and measure port productivity of U.S. ports and found that the ports with railroad service tend to be more efficient than others. Thi [9] used DEA-SBM instead of the DEA-BCC model in port efficiency analysis.…”

This paper analyses the application of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) in ports and evaluates the 20 ports' efficiency with the consideration of AGV application. Using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method and the simulated data, this paper further identifies the optimal number of AGVs for these 20 ports. The DEA-CCR and DEA-BCC results show that most of these 20 ports are already efficient. And Ningbo port, Osaka port, and Hamburg port are the most efficient port as they obtained the highest scores in super-efficiency analysis. But using the simulation data, the result suggests that some ports, such as Busan Port and Antwerp Port, are able to improve their efficiency by adjusting the application of AGV. The finding of this paper suggests that existing automated port can improve their economic efficiency by reducing the number of AGVs, or enhancing their service efficiency by increasing the application of AGVs. But for traditional ports, expanding the application of AGV can increase both port economic and service efficiency.

“…There are two decarbonisation pathways for ports. The first is to use electrification with automation for fixed and mobile plants and alternative cleaner fuels such as hydrogen for mobile plants [8,18]. When these energy pathways use lower-or zero-GHG-emissionbased electricity and chemical fuel feed-stocks such as hydrogen, then a port can be partially or totally decarbonised.…”

The utilisation of hydrogen is being explored as a viable solution for reducing carbon emissions in port operations, with potential applications in cargo handling, transportation, and shipping vessel operations. To comprehensively list the decarbonisation options in ports, this study conducted a Systematic Literature Review to identify and then survey twelve highly cited review papers. Initially, a typology approach was used to categorise the decarbonisation options by activities and technologies. Subsequently, the study introduced a novel Port Energy Map to reveal the energy system pathways and their interconnections. Each pathway was then converted into a simpler linear sequence of activities, shown as a Port Energy System Taxonomy, which outlines the energy supply and energy-using activities. By utilising this taxonomy and map, the study identified opportunities and research gaps for integrating hydrogen technologies into port energy systems, which serves as a valuable tool for assessing port decarbonisation options.

“…Residents of the local community around the port can be affected by health effects, including asthma, other respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and premature death ( 10 ). As a large portion of such air pollution external cost falls in the category of health cost, there is increasing pressure on governments worldwide to tighten the regulation of emissions to promote port emission reduction (PER) ( 11 , 12 ). Especially in the densely populated coastal areas in Europe and China, where tens of mega ports handle tens of millions of containers, emissions could impose more serious impacts on residents ( 13 ).…”

Promoting Port Emission Reduction: A Tripartite Evolutionary Game Analysis

Port emission reduction (PER) has attracted more and more attention, and promoting PER involves multiple stakeholders. Therefore, based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper establishes a tripartite evolutionary game model involving the government, port enterprise, and port residents, to explore the key variables affecting the implementation of emission reduction measures by the port enterprise. It is found that, in the initial stage of PER, because of the huge emission reduction cost, the government’s incentive policies and the potential losses brought by port residents’ supervision are the driving forces to promote the port enterprises to implement emission reduction measures. In the intermediate stage and mature stage of the development of PER, with the development of emission reduction technology, the emission reduction cost of port enterprises will be reduced, and the incremental income after emission reduction will gradually make up for part of the input cost. At this time, the government can reduce or even cancel relevant subsidies and finally withdraw from the market, and the willingness of port residents to choose supervision will be reduced, then the whole tripartite evolutionary game has reached an evolutionary stable state. In addition, we also provide some management insights for policymakers based on the results of sensitivity analysis of relevant parameters affecting the evolution path of the tripartite game.
