Ship Energy Efficiency
Scope of the Course
Energy efficiency improvements in the maritime industry are being driven by economics, compliance and customer requirements.
- The Shipowner wants to have an energy efficient ship in the market which is attractive for chartering and for cargo owners.
- The charterers and cargo owners want to get to the most sustainable and low-cost transportation for their goods.
- The customer wants to buy products with a low carbon footprint.
- Investors and financing institutions are looking for energy efficient ships for long-term investments.
- Regulators want environmental compliance to the newest regulations.
- The ship operators and vessel crews want to operate the vessels the most efficient way.
The technological improvements and operational measures to get to the above is available. The Maritime Industry have been slow to adapt to the changing conditions for the market due to mainstream business practice but expectations from society and the recent regulatory developments have pushed towards a faster development of energy efficiency in the Maritime Industry.
Regulations have driven the energy efficient design improvements through the EEDI, included the emissions from operation through the EU MRV and IMO DCS and included the management of design and operations in the SEEMP. In 2023, the design index from existing vessels, the EEXI, will be mandatory and vessels in operation will be rated in a carbon emissions rating scheme, where bad rating will affect the vessels’ ability to operate.
This course will give the participant an overview of the energy efficiency options that are available in the Shipping Industry today. The course relates to the following subjects:
- The energy efficient ship
- The technical efficiency
- The voyage efficiency
- The environmental efficiency
- Target settings and KPIs
- Efficiency benchmarking and improvements
Attendees of the course will achieve knowledge and understanding of:
- the energy efficiency drivers for ship operations and the barriers in the market
- the compliance to existing / coming regulations and the impact of ship operations
- setting of targets and goals for the energy efficiency of ships
- how to improve the energy efficiency of a ship to position it in the market
