Abstract: In order to explore the role of intelligent shipping technology in boosting the carbon neutrality target of waterway transportation, taking the current situation of carbon emission in waterway transportation as the entry point, analyzing the development trend of intelligent shipping technology and its relevance in carbon emission reduction, combining the experimental data of the typical ships of Yangtze River Shipping and Coastal Shipping, and constructing the comprehensive analysis model based on the multi-dimensional evaluation index system, assessing the energy saving, emission reduction, and economic benefits of intelligent shipping technology in the Specific performance.The results show that intelligent shipping technology significantly reduces the carbon emission intensity per unit of transportation turnover, improves energy utilization efficiency, and the contribution rate of emission reduction reaches more than 20%, while showing the potential in automated navigation, energy efficiency management and carbon emission monitoring.Promoting the widespread application of intelligent shipping technologies in the field of waterway transportation will provide important support for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.
