Abstract

With the rapid development of the global shipping industry, emissions from ships during port berthing have become an increasingly prominent issue. As an effective emission reduction measure, shore power systems have received widespread attention. However, the promotion of shore power systems involves multiple stakeholders, including the government, shipping companies, ports, and power supply companies, each with different interests, leading to limitations in shore power adoption. This paper reviews the background of shore power promotion, the emission reduction effects of port shore power, government shore power subsidy policies, berth allocation optimization, and related research. Based on the analysis of existing literature, this study identifies key challenges in shore power promotion, such as the lack of coordination between government subsidy policies and port berth allocation optimization, as well as the low willingness of shipping companies to use shore power. This research aims to provide a reference for the government in formulating shore power promotion policies while assisting shipping enterprises in optimizing their operational strategies, ultimately fostering the widespread adoption of shore power and the green, low-carbon development of ports.
