Abstract
The hub-and-spoke container shipping network is widely used in container shipping industry due to its advantage of ＂economies of scale＂. The popularity of the concept of ＂green shipping＂ and the proposal of shipping carbon tax by EU emphasize the necessity of taking the cost of shipping carbon tax into consideration while designing the hub-and-spoke container shipping network. This paper introduces the hub-and-spoke container shipping network and the calculation process for EU shipping carbon tax, and then establishes a mathematical model on hub-and-spoke container shipping network considering shipping carbon tax, with the objective of the lowest overall cost for the network i.e. the total of shipping cost and carbon tax cost.
