The shipping industry is featured by high carbon emissions. The 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships sets forth the global goals of shipping decarbonization. Shipping decarbonization involves complicated issues of economy, technology, policy and law etc., and implies the conflicts between economic interests and environmental interests, between individual interests and public interests, between individual States’ interests and international common interests and between current interests and long-term interests. This research suggests that balancing such conflicting interests need to follow the principle of prioritizing the international public environmental interests while taking into account the other interests because protection of environmental interests should be taken as the basic value orientation in shipping decarbonization governance and the principle of collaborating governmental intervention and market mechanisms by reference to the theory on the relationship between government and market in economics. Under the guidance of these principle, by reference to the equilibrium analysis method in economics and following the progressive decision theory in management, this research demonstrates that the main pathways in achieving such balance may include: making strategic plan and basic policy for reducing GHG emissions from ships by the government, implementing economic incentive policies such as tax incentives and fiscal subsidies, implementing ship energy efficiency measures, prudently implementing shipping carbon emissions trading mechanism, accelerating the establishment of alternative marine fuel supply chain, innovating alternative marine fuel technology and ship propulsion technology, and actively engaging in international cooperation.

从平衡利益冲突的角度看航运脱碳治理的路径


航运业的特点是碳排放量大。2023 年 IMO 减少船舶温室气体排放战略提出了航运脱碳的全球目标。航运脱碳涉及经济、技术、政策、法律等复杂问题，涉及经济利益与环境利益、个人利益与公共利益、个体国家利益与国际共同利益、当前利益与长期利益之间的矛盾。本研究指出，平衡这些冲突利益需要遵循优先考虑国际公共环境利益、同时兼顾其他利益的原则，因为在航运脱碳治理中应将保护环境利益作为基本价值取向，并参考政府与市场关系理论，以政府干预和市场机制协作的原则进行平衡。经济学。在这些原理的指导下，借鉴经济学中的均衡分析方法，在管理上遵循渐进决策理论，本研究表明，实现这种平衡的主要途径可能包括：政府制定减少船舶温室气体排放的战略规划和基本政策，实施税收优惠和财政补贴等经济激励政策; 实施船舶能效措施，审慎实施航运碳排放权交易机制，加快建立替代性船用燃料供应链，创新替代性船用燃料技术和船舶推进技术，积极开展国际合作。
