碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 運輸科技與管理學系 / 99 / The Kaohsiung port located at the south of Taiwan is a major international trading port, as it has a good natural conditions and competitive advantages. However, most of the cargos supply and demand are concentrated in the northern area of Taiwan, and the northern area international trading port is the Keelung port. The Keelung port is a natural port, but with limited hinterland and relative poor accessibility, the port capacity and service level are low. In contrast to the Keelung port, the Kaohsiung port can provide better capacity and service level. As a result, there is a large amount of North-to-South and South-to-North container movement thought the inland transportation system. Intermodal transportation system with Short Sea Shipping is thought to be able to relieve this issue, by transferring the container flow from inland to waterway. This can reduce the freeway congestion and the environmental problem due to the high density of traffic, and furthermore, the external costs can be reduced.
This study establishes a model with empirical data to investigate Taiwan's domestic containers movement between the ports and cities, and the model can be able to simulate the choices of mode and route of freight transportation. With the model we analyze various policy measures promoting the usage of intermodal transport and Short Sea Shipping, such as internalization of external costs of freights, priority berthing and cost reducing for short sea shipping.
Our finding shows that the short sea shipping promotion policy can effectively reduce the environment cost, such as air pollutions and CO2 emissions. For instance, when 20% of external cost is internalized and port costs are reduced by 20%, the amount of transship containers using short sea shipping is increased to 757,658TEU, and the external cost due to the container movement can be reduced from US$ 639.79 million to US$ 536.87 million.
