1. 1. Paths forward for Sustainable Maritime Transport : A techno-economic optimization framework for next generation vessels

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

   Author : Julian Ulrich Hausweiler; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Recently, the decarbonization of maritime transport has received increased attention, in order to align with the targets of the Paris Agreement. In 2023, the International Maritime Organization unveiled their revised greenhouse gas strategy with an ambitious target: net-zero emissions by 2050. READ MORE

3. 2. Energy flows and potential energy development strategies in RoRo ports: A study based on the Port of Trelleborg

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Gabriele Gonzales; [2023]
   Keywords : RoRo Ports; Energy Flows; Energy Development; Energy Strategies; Renewable Energy; Ports; Energy Hub; Energy Storage; Hydrogen; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The recent push for decarbonization in the maritime sector presents an opportunity for ports to strengthen their position as energy hubs. This work studies the existing energy flows in the Port of Trelleborg, one of Europe's biggest roll-on, roll-off ports, and proposes some energy-related development strategies. READ MORE

4. 3. Experimental Investigation of the Aerodynamics of a Sailing Cargo Vessel with Four Rigid Wingsails under Unsteady Sailing Conditions

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

   Author : Antonia Hillenbrand; [2022]
   Keywords : Experimental Aerodynamics; Pressure measurements; Sailing; Scale model testing; Trimming; Sea trial; Experimentell aerodynamik; Tryckmätning; Segling; Testning av skalamodeller; Trimning; Sjöprovning;

   Abstract : Wind propulsion is a traditional way to propel ships over the oceans. In the recent development towards more sustainable shipping, sailing is considered in the industry again with high momentum. For a modern merchant ship, the aerodynamic forces generated on the particular rigging are unusual. READ MORE

5. 4. Liquid Natural Gas : A study of the environmental impact of LNG in comparison to diesel

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Sjöfartshögskolan (SJÖ)

   Author : Jonas Edfors; Robin Bremberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Methane; LNG; Engine; Marine; Mole; Methane Slip; Ship; CO2; CH4; Emission; IMO; Exhaust gas; Environment; Propulsion; Heavy Fuel Oil; Ultra Low Fuel Oil; Diesel; Marine Diesel Oil; ECA; SECA; NECA; IMO; g kWh; EEDI; LSFO; Metan; LNG; Motor; Mol; Skepp; Miljö; Miljövänligt; Tjockolja; Diesel; Marine Diesel; Avgas; CO2; CH4; ECA; SECA; NECA; IMO; g kWh; EEDI; LSFO;

   Abstract : Liquefied Natural Gases (LNG) has been an alternative fuel in the marine industry for several years, but lately, the amount of ships that have been powered by methane has increased a lot. Some of the reasons for this is because LNG does not contain any sulfur and releases less nitrogen oxides than traditional maritime fuels. READ MORE

6. 5. Performance Prediction Program for Wind-Assisted Cargo Ships

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Martina Reche Vilanova; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Due to the accelerating need for decarbonization in the shipping sector, wind-assisted cargo shipsare able to play a key role in achieving the IMO 2050 targets on reducing the total annual GHGemissions from international shipping by at least 50%. The aim of this Master’s Thesis project is todevelop a Performance Prediction Program for wind-assisted cargo ships to contribute knowledgeon the performance of this technology. READ MORE
