The shipping industry plays a crucial role in global trade, but it also contributes significantly to environmental pollution, particularly regard carbon emissions. Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) was introduced with the objective of reducing emissions sector. lack familiarity performance is common issue among vessel operator. To address this aspect, development methods that can accurately predict CII for ships paramount importance. This paper presents novel and simplified approach...
This case study investigates the potential of incorporating water heat pumps into onboard thermal systems to utilize low-temperature waste for heating and enhance efficiency economics all-electric battery-driven ferries. We analysed a hybrid-driven roll-on/roll-off passenger ferry operating in Baltic Sea, gathering data on vessel operation, power, provision cycles. integrated real-time measurement data, energy flow analysis, thermodynamic calculations draw conclusions battery retrofit...
Abstract Nonlinear finite element analyses are performed to determine the ultimate strength of a double hull VLCC under pure vertical, horizontal and biaxial bending. A parametric model is developed influence nonlinear material behavior, mesh size length on girder demonstrated exemplarily for hogging sagging conditions. An appropriate parameter configuration with respect numerical efforts accuracy used perform static implicit bending load cases. Convergence reached by using full...
