Abstract

A model to estimate and compare the economical feasibility and the ecological impact of the marine transportation (cargo ships) and land transportation (trucks) in monetary values is presented in this paper. Life cycle inventory analysis, required freight rate and the service time were used to evaluate and compare the ecological impact and find the economical superiority. The estimation was made for nine different routes in Japan. Finally the social cost saving in monetary value through the modal shift of cargo from trucks to cargo ships is presented.
