The analyses of CO2 emissions, SO2 emissions and total operating costs per tonne-kilometer are called environmental benefit analysis and economic benefit analysis respectively, and these two factors are being compared under different scenarios. We establish seven scenarios having different proportions of road transportation and sea-road intermodal. We employ the concept of the carbon tax and the price elasticity of demand to explore the possibility of container transport operators switching to sea-road intermodal, and further investigate the influence of distance factor for the transport mode selection.
The result shows that the transportation of import and export containers through entirely on sea-road intermodal (scenario 7) produces the least amount of CO2 emissions and incurs the least total operating costs. Meanwhile short sea shipping using MGO as fuel can produce the least amount of SO2 emissions. As a result, Sea-road intermodal is the most environmental and economic beneficial transport mode. Furthermore, in order to switch a proportion of road transportation to sea-road intermodal when considering short distances, a higher rate of the carbon tax needs to be developed. Then, when the distance of road transportation is the same, the case of longer shipping distance is more appropriate for sea-road intermodal. Finally, this paper recommends that the policy implementation of the carbon tax can make road transportation switch to sea-road intermodal, and suggests that short sea shipping should use MGO instead of HFO as fuel.
