Additional information
Maritime transport has for a long time been considered the "green" mode of transport - both in the transport industry, academia and transport policy environments. The doctoral degree challenges maritime transport's assumed superior environmental efficiency by conducting comparative environmental analyzes between short sea shipping and car transport. Previous research has largely been based on assumptions due to a lack of actual data, due to its sensitive nature, in modeling emissions from maritime transport. The environmental analyzes in this doctoral dissertation, on the other hand, are based on real data collected from shipping companies operating in Northern Europe.
