Ship Energy Efficiency Performance Estimation Using Normal Daily Report Operational Data

Ship Voyage Energy Efficiency Assessment Using Ship Simulators

The increase in global trade is driving growth in both the size and number of ships. However, this increased demand is leading to greater contributions from shipping to air pollution. This is leading designers and operators to propose and adopt novel powering and propulsion systems. However, there is a challenge with assessing the actual benefit from using a certain retrofit technology or chang...

Comparing the Efficiency of Dmus with Normal and Skew-Normal Distribution using Data Envelopment Analysis

  Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach to evaluate theefficiency of decision making units (DMU) using mathematical programmingtechniques. Almost, all of the previous researches in stochastic DEA have been usedthe stochastic data when the inputs and outputs are normally distributed. But, thisassumption may not be true in practice. Therefore, using a normal distribution wi...

Operational Measures For Energy Efficiency In Shipping

1.Introduction Energy efficiency and environmental performance are mainstream issues for ship operators who are aiming through low carbon shipping and cost reductions. Although reducing fuel consumption seems to have priority, environmental considerations also push the shipping industry to operate in more efficient way. Strict legislations on GHG emissions and increasing fuel prices turn the fo...

Improving Energy Efficiency of Ships through Optimisation of Ship Operations

Increased environmental concerns, resulted in new legislation, and high and volatile fuel prices are today’s driving forces to reduce operational costs and become greener. Reduction of fuel consumption acts as the main contributor towards this. In the context of the given economic pressure and from international law point of view, the amount of energy-savings by vessel fuel should be increased ...
