  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Putting a New Spin on Shipping

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : David Newman; [2020]
    Keywords : wind ship propulsion; Flettner rotor; human factors; technological innovation system; operational experience; Technology and Engineering; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns Flettner rotors, a wind propulsion technology for commercial shipping which has recently gained momentum due to its ability to reduce fuel consumption, and consequently CO2 emissions, in a polluting sector of industry. Flettner rotors are able to reduce average fuel consumption by up to 20% and can be operated on a wide variety of ship types and sizes through both retrofit and installations on new builds.

    Keywords : Naval Architecture; Solid Mechanics; Finite Element Analysis; Concept development; Sailing; Skeppsbyggnad; Hållfasthetslära; Finita elementmetoden; Konceptutveckling; Segling;

    Abstract : The wPCC project (wind powered car carrier) is carried out by Wallenius Marine, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SSPA Sweden. By developing a car carrier mainly propelled by the wind, the emissions are estimated to be reduced by up to 90 %. This thesis deals with the structural aspects of the design. READ MORE
