Summary Concerning maritime unit load cargo transportation, we have analyzed the trend of countermeasures on greenhouse gases reduction and have developed the mode choice model for long and middle distance transports respectively. We have also analyzed how the transport mode choice will be changed in the future by policy of countermeasures on greenhouse gases reduction and carbon tax considering the difference of CO2 emission among transport modes.
