| Research Abstract |
This paper estimated carbon dioxide emissions directly related to the operations of container terminals in Japanese leading ports, by calculating fuel and electric power consumptions caused by the activities of calling vessels, tug boats, cargo handling equipments and trucks in the port area concerned. The results obtained by disaggregated analysis by ports, by port activities and by reduction scenario will be informative and useful for formulating and evaluating port related emission control policies and their effectiveness. The paper also argues that some policies enhancing port operational efficiency would economize fuel consumptions at port and contribute to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well.
