“…To account for the fact that most containers are handled and moved several times within a terminal, multiplication factors for the number of times a container is moved were set at 2 moves for direct transfer from ship to road, 5 moves for transfer from ship to rail and 8 moves for ship to road or rail via a stacking yard. These multiplication factors were verified by comparing the lifting / movement activities modelled here with those proposed by Geerlings and van Duin (2011).…”

“…Nieuwenhuis et al (2012) also offer some insights into emissions generated by terminal operations in a multimodal freight transport environment, although their analysis applies to the large scale shipment of cars, rather than containers. Geerlings and van Duin's (2011) estimates for emissions range between 0.39 kg CO 2 e per container for Reach Stackers to 4.37 kg CO 2 e per container for Multi Trailer Systems. The estimate of carbon emissions for car movements on a terminal (Nieuwenhuis et al, 2012) are 0.164 kg CO 2 e per kilometer.…”

“…These assumptions were, firstly, that any one move in the terminal generates 1.85 kg CO 2 e per TEU. This figure is derived from averaging the statistics listed by Geerlings and van Duin (2011) in respect of CO 2 e generated by different types of terminal handling equipment. Secondly, the proportions of containers following particular pathways through the terminal were specified as: 67% moved from the ship to the stack prior to leaving the port; and 33% moved directly trucks for immediate onward transport.…”

In the last few decades, the building evidence that CO 2 e emissions lead to climate change has pointed to a need to reduce CO 2 e emissions. This research uses five scenarios in the context of UK import trade to assess total CO 2 e emissions and costs of import re-routing containers. The overall objective is to assess possible carbon mitigation strategies for UK supply chains by using a combination of alternative ports and revised multimodal strategies. The model adopted includes three elements: port expansion, container handling and freight transport. The alternative scenarios explore different settings modal shift and short sea shipping.

To minimize administration efforts and to base all energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions recording on the same consistent operational database, an integrated approach to manage energy and capture carbon footprint in one management system is recommended. Measuring and reporting terminal GHG-emissions currently is not mandatory but recommended in the view of already existing and upcoming new carbon dioxide reporting standards. Some terminals have already developed systems to monitor emissions for internal use.Mandatory carbon footprint reporting is expected for the near future, which must be based on comparable conditions and methodologies. Pre-competitive co-operation and exchange of ideas therefore is essential. Workload on container terminals is very high, so additional burdens from carbon footprint management system must be kept at a minimum.This article explains the methodology of calculation of the carbon footprint of container terminals as a link in the logistics chain.

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: There has been considerable research on the environmental impact of supply chains but most of this has concentrated on the transport elements. The environmental impact of warehousing has received relatively little attention except within the context of distribution networks. A high proportion of total warehouse emissions emanate from heating, cooling, air conditioning and lighting and these aspects are largely related to warehouse size. This in turn is greatly influenced by inventory management, affecting stockholding levels, and warehouse design, affecting the footprint required for holding a given amount of stock. Other emissions, such as those caused by material handling equipment, are closely related to warehouse throughput and equipment choice. There is a substantial gap in the literature regarding this interaction between inventory and warehouse management and its environmental impact. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to filling this gap. Therefore, an integrated simulation model has been built to examine this interaction and the results highlight the key effects of inventory management on warehouse-related greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, it is found that decisions on supply lead times, reorder quantities, and storage equipment all have an impact on costs and emissions and therefore this integrated approach will inform practical decision making. Additionally, it is intended that the paper provides a framework for further research in this important area. Permanent repository link
