| Summary: | Global shipping activities account for 90% of global trade and play an important role in the world economy and welfare, but vessels generate different negative environmental impacts meanwhile, by air emissions, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and species invasion. The four studies in this work aim to inform related policymaking at international and regional levels to reduce the negative impacts from international shipping. ☐ The first study examines the container vessel diversion pattern to trans-Arctic shipping routes and GHG emission abatement potential under climate change and ice retreat in the Arctic area. Literature shows inconsistent conclusions on the economic feasibility of the trans-Arctic routes, which motivates this work to examine the potential general diversion patterns of the global shipping traffic. While we find some trans-Arctic routes are economically feasible, the diversion potential of trans-Arctic routes may be overestimated. The sample in this work contains 522,691 shipping moves, and ... |
