  1. 1. Probabilistic Added Wave Resistance Predictions for Design of RoPax Ferries

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonathan Viinikka; [2023]
    Keywords : Added wave resistance in head waves; Roll-on Roll-off Passenger ferry; Probabilistic wave environment; Semi-empirical method; Adderat vågmotstånd i motsjö; Roll-on Roll-off Passagerar Fartyg; Probabilistiska vågförhållanden; Semiempiriska beräkningsmethoder;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE

  3. 2. Enabling a sustainable transition of a waterborne transport system : By identifying essential aspects and actors

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Julia Apelgren; Sara Kronvall; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable transition; Waterborne transport system; Transport system; Public transport system; Fossil free fuels; System theory; Passenger ferry; Commuter ferry; Electric ferry; Hållbar omställning; Vattenburet transport system; Transport system; Kollektivtrafik; Fossila bränslen; Systemteori; Passagerarfärja; Pendelbåt; Elektrisk färja;

    Abstract : In light of the emerging consequences of climate change, there is a need for a sustainable transition of the marine sector, including waterborne transport systems, towards implementation of fossil free fuels and technologies. The thesis limits its scope to solely include passenger ferries that are suitable for calm waters and often operates on shorter distances, which are often incorporated in a public transport system and/or archipelago traffic.

  4. 3. Carbon emission allocation of Ro-Pax ferry transport and the application for ferry companies

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Qiutong Xu; [2023]
    Keywords : CO2 emissions; Emission allocation; Ro-Pax ferry; Ferry transport; Passenger; Freight; CO2-utsläpp; Utsläppsfördelning; Ro-Pax-färja; Färjetransport; Passagerare; Frakt;

    Abstract : The EU has set up the target of cutting GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and becoming climateneutral by 2050. Accordingly, the IMO has launched initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions per transportwork by at least 40% by 2030, however the CO2 emissions generated from the ferry operations arecontinuously increasing.

  5. 4. Wireless Charging Technology Infrastructure for Ferries in Göteborg (Västra Götaland)

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Akinboyewa; Elena Simona Udrescu; [2023]
    Keywords : Wireless power transfer; Electric ferries; shore infrastructure; swot analysis; electrification; Vesta;

    Abstract : The maritime transport sector makes a significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, playing a consistent and increasing part in global CO2 emissions. Electrification of marine transportation is a key and necessary step for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change. READ MORE

  6. 5. A study on how to improve the mass evacuation at sea with the use of survival crafts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik
