The decarbonization of the shipping industry has risen to a new level of significance on the
agendas of policy makers and strategic decision makers. This paper focuses on the likely …

Regulatory initiatives obligate maritime operators to reduce emission via retrofitting
propulsion and exhaust treatment systems or by using alternative fuels. Although these …

In this study, the use of methanol is proposed as an alternative fuel to comply with the
international maritime organization (IMO) emission regulations. Environmental and …

Shipping industry, like other industrial sectors, suffers from an energy efficiency gap. The
majority of the literature focuses more on identifying barriers than proposing solutions. This …

This paper introduces an innovative decision support system for improving ship energy
efficiency. It combines an engine optimization model and an artificial neural network (ANN) …

A major part of the world fleet of more than 47,000 merchant ships operates under
conditions that hamper energy efficiency and efforts to cut CO 2 emissions. Valid and …

Only a few empirical studies have investigated principal-agent problems in transportation,
notwithstanding the significant attention gained by agency theory in the last decade. The …

We propose a model for freight rate formation in individual contracts that incorporates
charterer and owner heterogeneity and owner–charterer match effects. We estimate fixed …

From the beginning of 2020, the IMO regulation limiting ships' fuel sulphur content to 0.5%
will become effective. This limit has been preceded by the Sulphur Emission Control Areas …
