Abstract:In recent years, the problem of port environmental pollution has become increasingly serious. As a core enterprise in the port supply chain, port companies and shipping companies play an important role in promoting the construction of green ports. Based on the carbon tax policy, this paper considers the low carbon preference of customers and compares the carbon emission reduction decisions of port enterprises and shipping companies under centralized decision-making and decentralized decision-making. Among them, the following are mainly considered in the decentralized decision-making: port enterprises dominate the Stackelberg game, The Nash game of port companies and shipping companies, and the shipping company-led Stackelberg game. Compare the choices of both parties in the emission reduction strategy under the four decision scenarios. The results show that enterprises and customer groups can achieve optimal goals under centralized decision-making. Secondly, analyzing the influence of different parameters on key variables, the government"s levy of a certain proportion of carbon tax and the enhancement of the customer"s awareness of low-carbon environmental protection will increase the emission reduction of the port and the ship. These conclusions provide a reference for government departments to formulate appropriate carbon tax rates and decision-making by ports and ships.
