This paper analyzes the strategic and operational impacts of electric fleet adoption in logistics using PepsiCo and Amazon cases. It finds 63-84% lifecycle GHG reduction and 40% lower maintenance costs for EVs, while highlighting the challe…

Lei Bai, Ming Shang, Chenxiao Shi +4

This study analyzes long-term surface wind speed changes along the Yangtze River waterway using a high-resolution 5 km gridded dataset (1979–2018). A regime shift around 2000 marked a recovery from terrestrial stilling, with heterogeneous t…

Mengru Yuan, Xin Xu, Bingjie Yang +1

This paper uses a tripartite evolutionary game model to analyze strategic interactions among governments, ports, and shipping companies in adopting shore power. Simulation experiments explore how subsidies, carbon pricing, and wind power he…

This study examines mission planning and energy management for a hybrid multi-source electric mail boat in the Aeolian archipelago. It evaluates a daily inter-island route powered by a high-temperature methanol fuel cell, batteries, and pho…

Chybyung Park

This study evaluates well-to-wake global warming potential for two large container ships operated by a Korean company under four propulsion scenarios using a Live-LCA framework that couples life cycle inventory with dynamic power and propul…

This paper proposes a strategic roadmap for Greece to decarbonize its coastal ferry sector by adopting Norway's electric and hybrid ferry innovations. It highlights two pilot initiatives—a hybrid retrofit for the Perama-Salamina route and a…

Mamdouh Elmallah, Ernesto Madariaga-Domínguez, M. Saadeldin +3

This study compares the economic viability of natural gas and methanol as alternative marine fuels for dual-fuel engine conversion in shipping. It calculates cost savings per ton of pollutant reduction (NOx, SOx, CO2, CO) relative to conven…
