Purpose : This study analyzes the role of logistics performance and environmental technologies in influencing trade–carbon efficiency (trade-carbon intensity) in the maritime logistics sector. As global trade shifts toward digitalization and environmental responsibility, the scope of trade facilitation has expanded from mere customs simplification to include sustainability and green logistics. Research design, data, methodology : The study focuses on sub-components of the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI)—infrastructure and timeliness—that are closely linked to carbon emissions. It also examines environmental technology variables such as renewable energy consumption and green patents to understand how technological capacity moderates the relationship between logistics performance and trade–carbon efficiency. Panel data from 47 countries covering 2010 to 2020 are analyzed using a fixed-effects regression model to control for cross-country heterogeneity. Results : The findings reveal that improvements in logistics infrastructure significantly enhance trade–carbon efficiency, whereas enhancements in timeliness may, in certain contexts, hinder environmental efficiency. These results highlight trade-offs inherent in speed-oriented logistics strategies. Conclusions : By integrating trade and environmental outcomes into a unified efficiency measure, this study contributes to sustainable trade policy discussions and provides practical insights for developing green maritime logistics strategies that balance trade facilitation with carbon reduction goals.
