Low Carbon Shipping - A Systems Approach

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Effect of added resistance due to waves on on energy consumption and carbon emission.
Exploitation Route by developing operational strategies for ships to minimise the energy consumption through weather routing and speed optimisation as well as assessing the Energy Saving Devices. WE We started supporting local ferry company through Impact Acceleration project to establish weather limits for safe operation.
Sectors Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Energy,Environment,Transport

 
Description we designed an energy saving device for a design company ( Wake Equalising Duct) and two of these designs were installed on two different bulkcarriers, which are 180 m long
