| Abstract |
We introduce a novel dimension to the fleet renewal decisions of a shipping company, taking into account the effects of ship scrapping subsidies. The fleet renewal behavior of a company is analyzed with focus on early scrapping decisions prompted by the subsidy. We present a fleet renewal decision model which maximizes firm profit given market demand and the features of a scrapping subsidy. To assess the effects of a potential subsidy on corporate decisions, we compare the optimal fleet renewal schemes with and without the subsidy. We calculate the outcome of such a policy measure for China COSCO Shipping. |
