Energy Efficient Shipping Through Ultra-Slow Steaming - Technical ...

Course DescriptionWith an increased focus on climate change comes increasingpressure on all industries to reduce CO2emissions through improved efficiency, and the maritimeindustry is no exception. It has been proposedthat through a combination of ultra slow speed andcomplementary propulsion technologies, the efficiencyof the world shipping fleet can be increased to a pointwhere the following emissions targets can be met:• By 2020: Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by30% compared to 1990 levels.• By 2050: Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by80% compared to 1990 levels.This course surveys the technical challenges presentedby slow speed shipping including: Reduced directionalstability and other sea keeping issues; Hull, machineryand propeller design changes and; the consequencesof introducing sail-assist technologies. Thecourse facilitates the transfer of knowledge from theFP7 financed research project ULYSSES(http://www.ultraslowships.com/) to the wider community.The target audience includes: PhD students,MS students towards the end of their studies, and engineersworking in the maritime and maritime consultingindustries.The course syllabus includes lectures on both reducedspeed issues for existing ships and design considerationsfor new slow speed ships. Technical topics include:Added resistance due to wind and waves; Genericmodelling principles for predicting power, fuelconsumption and emissions; Ultra slow speed hull andpropeller design; Manoeuvrability; Modern wind propulsion;Machinery and engine issues; Alternativefuels; plus two overview lectures on efficiency andgreen ship technologies. Two afternoon visits are alsoplanned to: The R & D facilities of MAN Diesel, Copenhagen;and the ship model basin of Force Technology,Lyngby. A series of exercises illustrating thelecture material will form an integral part of thecourse. Acceptable solutions to these exercises, plus amore in depth report problem, must be submitted toreceive credit for the course.OrganizersHarry B.
