Kaohsiung port is investigated to evaluate the effectiveness of the incentive plans on green shipping practices and this study aims to find whether the incentive could be an additional driver for the shipping companies to invest in green technology. Three abatement technologies were chosen to implement price incentive plans. The financial assessment is supported by a discount cash flow method to calculate the potential effect of introducing price incentive plans. The results indicate that the port tariff rebate rate should be at least a 70% discount to stimulate more SCR installation. Integrating the SCR + Scrubber makes the investment profitable due to the potential fuel cost-saving generated from installing Scrubber. Without port tariff-based incentives, the low LNG price is able to make the retrofitting LNG-powered system attractive. However, the limitations of the pure financial assessment underestimate the uncertainty and possible operation risk. The port authority needs to fulfill its strategic role in the possible maritime energy transition by eliminating the risk and uncertainty besides the provision of financial support. |
