Citations in the corpus

• The future of containerization: perspectives from maritime and inland freight distribution (2009, background): “Most shipping lines have reacted by lowering the commercial speed of large container vessels from 23-24 knots to 20-21 knots, typically reducing the bunker consumption from 200 tons to 150 tons per day for an 8000 TEU vessel (ESPO, 2007 and Notteboom and Vernimmen, 2008 ).”
• Slow steaming impacts on ocean carriers and shippers (2013, background): “Fuel can exceed half of overall operating costs for container ships (Notteboom, 2006), and consequently, changes in fuel prices will have significant impacts on per TEU transport costs (Notteboom and Vernimme, 2009).”
• Balancing the economic and environmental performance of maritime transportation (2010, background): “More directly related is Corbett et al. (2009) that applies fundamental equations relating speed, energy consumption, and the cost to evaluate the impact of speed reduction, while Notteboom and Vernimmen (2009) examined bunker fuel costs.”
• Containership Routing and Scheduling in Liner Shipping: Overview and Future Research Directions (2014, background): “Optimization of Ship Sailing Speed The sailing speeds of ships have a significant impact on the total operating costs because an increase of just a couple of knots results in a dramatic increase in bunker consumption (Notteboom and Vernimmen 2009), and bunker costs may constitute more than 75% of th”
• The effect of oil price on containership speed and fleet size (2011, background): “Notteboom and Vernimmen (2009) provide some background information about container lines and bunker fuel types and costs, and a more detailed (but descriptive) cost model that calculates the cost of a specific route at various specified speeds for different vessel sizes.”
• The impacts of maritime piracy on global economic development: the case of Somalia (2010, background): “Indeed, even within existing maritime-related works involving economic analysis, they largely focus on the costs and efficiencies of other components within the sector, notably ship 47–49 and port operations 50–54 , rather than maritime piracy.”
• A strategic network choice model for global container flows: specification, estimation and application (2011, background): “A reduction in vessel speed or ‘slow steaming’ is becoming common practice among shipping lines in order to cut fuel costs (Notteboom and Vernimmen, 2009).”
• Food Spoilage, Storage, and Transport: Implications for a Sustainable Future (2015, background): “Nearly all contemporary cargo ships, trains, trucks, and airplanes are powered by fossil fuel—mostly some form of petroleum—so the cost of oil figures large (Notteboom and Cariou 2009, Notteboom and Vernimmen 2009).”
