Abstract
There are various recommended ways to achieve this green concept in shipping and marine industry.
Some of them are as follows:
1. Slow or economical speed will increase the fuel efficiency.
2. Alternate Fuel for Propulsion (e.g., LNG)
3. Maximizing the propeller efficiency through systems like speed Nozzles to Save Fuel
4. Anti-Fouling Hull Paint to minimize the resistance and enhance the fuel efficiency.
5. By introducing efficient Steering Gear systems will enhance the fuel efficiency.
6. Using all means of energy generation to enhance productivity, e.g., Waste Heat Recovery
System.
7. Changing over to Low-Sulfur Fuel
8. Using Wind Energy to run the propulsion system. E.g., Sail or Kite Propulsion System
9. Streaming Bubbles
10. Using scrubber operating system to control bad emissions from exhaust gas.
11. Introduction of battery powered boats & vessels.
12. Try and introduce a Ballast-Free System
13. Re-circulation System for exhaust gas.
14. Regular hull cleaning through ROV’s to maintain clean smooth hull surface which will enhance
the speed of the vessel and fuel efficiency.
All above systems identified by the industry experts as some of the most efficient ways to push our shipping and marine industry towards this expected green target.
