Abstract:
To satisfy these increasingly challenging short-term and forthcoming mid- and long-term goals for reduced GHG emissions both ship operators and designers, including machinery and equipment manufacturers etc., are having to employ and develop an ever-increasing range of sometimes novel and technically challenging solutions for improving ship efficiency and performance. Such solutions which are currently being, and will have to be in the future, employed during the industry’s journey to decarbonised international shipping fleet include those influencing: operations; resistance; propulsion; prime-movers together with the utilisation of low- and zero-carbon fuels; and alternative / additional forms of propulsion.
The presentation will consider how the design of ships and their systems is changing in order to increase their efficiency and also decrease their GHG emissions whilst still resulting in robust, operable and safe solutions for the shipping industry. It will also discuss the whole life cycle of a maritime asset in terms of both costs and overall energy usage, hence associated carbon, from the constituent raw materials and subsequent construction process, operations and maintenance including possible reuse, through to final disposal and recycling.
