Abstract:

Concerns about climate change demand a worldwide transition to sustainable transportation methods. The possibility of intermodal transportation to lower carbon emissions in trade between Turkey and Trieste is examined in this thesis. The study looks at how these two important commercial centers are currently transported, emphasizing the negative environmental effects of using conventional ways. The thesis presents a framework for strategically maximizing the movement of freight by concentrating on intermodal combinations that make use of railroads and canals in addition to restricted road segments. By comparing intermodal transportation's carbon footprint to current emissions levels, its environmental advantages are assessed. The thesis also looks into the viability of using intermodal techniques economically. The article discusses the possible obstacles and advantages linked to the development of infrastructure, regulatory structures, and stakeholder cooperation. This thesis seeks to provide useful insights for parties engaged in commerce between Turkey and Trieste, policymakers, and logistics providers by examining the economic and environmental implications of intermodal transportation. The suggested approach may be used as a template to cut carbon emissions in international trade corridors.
