Abstract
The maritime shipping industry, responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is facing increasing pressure to decarbonization and ultimately zero emission due to the escalating threat of climate change. This urgent need has inspired the conceptualization of green maritime corridors—a designated network of shipping routes, ports, and associated infrastructure designed to advocate for shipping practices with low or zero emissions. Initial empirical studies have underscored the potential of green maritime corridors in advancing decarbonization. However, the shipping network and the requisite refueling stations to support alternative-fuel ships within the network remain undeveloped. Additionally, establishing green maritime corridors requires collaborative efforts from multiple stakeholders, wherein shipping lines, port operators, and governments are pivotal contributors, jointly ensuring the safeguarding of their respective interests. We first define the corridor network design and refueling station location and propose an optimization model to maximize the overall benefits, with and without an emission trading system such as EU ETS. We further design a cooperative game for profit sharing among involved stakeholders such that they are incentivized to cooperate in establishing the corridors. In this way, we provide a first optimization approach for green maritime corridor design, guiding policymakers and industry players on the way to successful implementations.
