Abstract

With the protection and restoration of ecological environment becoming the first priority, the chapter constructs Logit model of container port logistics and intermodality from the perspective of environmental sustainability. Then a two-stage game that involves three major container port logistics and intermodality between Port of Shanghai and its hinterland of Yangtze River Economic Belt is analyzed. The Nash equilibria of container port logistics and intermodality are solved taking noise pollution and harmful gas emission into account respectively and simultaneously, which can be decision-making support of regulations promulgated and operation optimized in order to realize environmental sustainability of container port logistics and intermodality.
