本文的目的是调查海港在帮助减轻与端到端海上运输链相关的温室气体排放方面的作用。该分析主要集中在英国，但在应用上是国际性的。本文基于对二手数据的分析和港口为减少排放而采取的行动的信息，后者的数据是通过英国主要港口发布的报告和/或通过访谈收集的。在英国，只有少数港口（占英国港口活动的32%）实际测量并报告了它们的碳排放量。停靠这些港口的船舶所产生的排放物使用基于运输海事统计数据部的方法进行分析。此外，还介绍了一个与进出港口的重型载重船运动相关的排放案例（Felixstowe），并考虑了泊位船舶排放的数据。我们的分析表明，船舶在港口之间航行期间产生的排放量远远大于港口活动产生的排放量。因此，虽然减少港口自身的排放是值得的，但研究结果表明，港口通过集中精力减少航运排放可能会产生更大的影响。(C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This paper's purpose is to investigate the role of sea ports in helping to mitigate the GHG emissions associated with the end-to-end maritime transport chain. The analysis is primarily focused on the UK, but is international in application. The paper is based on both the analysis of secondary data and information on actions taken by ports to reduce their emissions, with the latter data collected for the main UK ports via their published reports and/or via interviews. Only a small number of ports (representing 32% of UK port activity) actually measure and report their carbon emissions in the UK context. The emissions generated by ships calling at these ports are analysed using a method based on Department for Transport Maritime Statistics Data. In addition, a case example (Felixstowe) of emissions associated with HGV movements to and from ports is presented, and data on vessel emissions at berth are also considered.Our analyses indicate that emissions generated by ships during their voyages between ports are of a far greater magnitude than those generated by the port activities. Thus while reducing the ports' own emissions is worthwhile, the results suggest that ports might have more impact through focusing their efforts on reducing shipping emissions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
