1. 1. 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.

3. 2. 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.

   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

5. 4. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

6. 5. Smart City concepts and their approach on sustainability, transportation and tourism – Waterborne transportation, an opportunity for sustainability?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för geografi
