| Abstract: | This research discusses domestic feeder container transportation connected with international trades in Japan. Optimal round
trip courses of container ship fleet from the perspective of CO2 emission reduction are calculated and analyzed to obtain basic knowledge about CO2 emission reduction in the container feeder transportation system. Specifically, based on the weekly origin–destination (OD)
data at a hub port (Kobe) and other related transportation data, the ship routes are designed by employing a mathematical
modeling approach. First, a mixed integer programming model is formulated and solved by using an optimization software that
employs branch and bound algorithm. The objective function of the model is to minimize the CO2 emission subject to necessary (and partially simplified) constraints. The model is then tested on various types of ships
with different speed and capacity. Moreover, it is also tested on various waiting times at hub port to investigate the effect
in CO2 emission of the designated fleet. Both the assessment method of container feeder transportation and the transportation’s
basic insights in view of CO2 emission are shown through the analysis. |
