RESEARCH ON THE EFFICIENCY OF CARGO TRANSPORTATION AND EMISSIONS OF VESSELS AT MPC HAI PHONG PORT

Abstract

The Paris Agreement reached at COP26 is carbon neutrality by 2050. In particular, the maritime industry has also made efforts to reduce emissions. The IMO's 2023 strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships sets the target: Reduce at least 20% of total annual greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping Reduce at least 70% of total annual greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, striving to reach 80% by 2040 compared to 2008 and almost zero by 2050. In that context, the requirement for Vietnamese seaports to implement the Prime Minister's commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. Therefore, research on managing emissions from ships operating at MPC seaports is an urgent requirement. The research results show that the amount of emissions from ships at seaports is very large, 183,948.29 kg in November 2024, the ratio between emissions and cargo circulation efficiency through the port has a very large difference (13.31 times). Therefore, this result is the basis for developing policies and solutions to control emissions of ships operating at seaports, contributing to the implementation of the green port development project in Vietnam.
