As an important hub of logistic chain, seaport is a major energy consumer. Therefore, the carbon footprint of container transportation system is studied in the paper. First, the operation process of container transportation system is analyzed. Second, the carbon footprint quantitative method is introduced. Finally, a case study is given as an example. Results indicate that carbon emission of quayside cranes accounts for the largest proportion in the transportation system. So, it's necessary to reduce the carbon emission of quayside crane.
