Abstract

The Evolution of Ship Design and Operations to meet environmental and climate change targets

Low cost of fuel - 1990s
Ships designed to operate at boundary speeds (maximum economic speeds). Maximizing cargo carrying capacity and minimizing building cost

Higher cost of fuel (2005 onwards)
Increased environmental focus and IMO GHG regulations (2009)
Focus on energy efficiency and marginal improvement of traditional designs

The Greening of Shipping (2015 – 2020 and onwards).
EEDI and global emission reductions targets
Need for outside the box thinking and drastic improvements
Alternative hull design: longer and more slender ships
Hybrid power systems: combustion, fuel cells and batteries
Advanced weather routing systems
