With the continuous expansion of shipping demand, the problem of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly severe. An effective strategy for mitigating carbon emissions is the implementation of well-designed shipping routes. To address this concern, we construct a branch transportation network under the hub-and-spoke route structure and then formulate a mixed-integer programming model with the aim of minimizing overall operational costs. A genetic algorithm is designed to solve the model and determine the optimal combination of liner routes. Taking the main ports in the Bohai Rim region as an example, a series of numerical experiments are carried out. The results demonstrate that the deceleration of navigation is a feasible approach for carbon emission reduction.
