Abstract

A bi-objective programming model for maritime container repositioning and leasing was set up with consideration of carbon permit trade and carbon emission constraint under low carbon environment based on guaranteeing the transportation of loaded containers. The effect of carbon trade system, carbon emission limit and carbon permit price on the total cost and the total time deviation of empty contrainer repositioning and leasing were analyzed. Results show that the carbon emissions from shipping industry can be effectively reduced when the government slightly lower down the share of carbon emission for shipping companies. Shipping companies can alleviate the pressure of reducing carbon emissions through carbon permit trade and reduce the total cost.Carbon emitted by shipping companies can be reduced when the government appropriately raise the price of carbon permit trade.

Key words
