Abstract
With increasingly fierce competition, it is a trend for shipping enterprise to provide the integrated logistics service rather than just ocean transportation. Meanwhile, the hot topics of global warming, environment pollution, energy prices rise, and low carbon economy are taken more and more seriously, hence Chinese shipping industry faces a series of challenges. This paper constructs a developmental pattern of shipping enterprises based on low-carbon integrated logistics, calculates the carbon emission of the main low-carbon integrated logistics service activities and then concludes the major carbon emission influencing factors of shipping enterprise implementing low-carbon integrated logistics, offers several suggestions for implementing low-carbon integrated logistics strategy in the aspect of technology, operation, management and market. This research enriches the academic theories on low-carbon integrated logistics and provides a certain amount of inspiration and references for the shipping enterprises.
