Environmental Impact of Some Retrofit Options Applied to an Inland Vessel
Csaba Hargitai
The project MoVe IT! (www.moveit-fp7.eu), funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Union, aims at a modernisation of inland waterway vessels with focus on retrofitting of existing vessels and technology transfer from new buildings and other transport modes. The topics of the project refer to the improvement of energy efficiency and environmental behaviour of inland waterway vessels, as well as the implementation of alternative energy sources to gasoil. Environmental assessment of various retrofit options is one major objective of the MoVe IT! project. The analysis is carried out for five vessels, comprising a container vessel, three pushers and a motor cargo vessel being operated together with a lighter. In this paper only the analysis of this last vessel is presented. The effects of the different retrofit solutions to be applied in this vessel are taken into account by the resulting reduction of the fuel consumption or directly the respective emissions in per cent....
Present and Future of Renewable Energy Sources Onboard Ships. Case Study: Solar - Thermal Systems

In recent years, sustainability in a climate and an environmental perspective has become an issue of highest priority. This is an agenda that cannot and should not be ignored. The financial crisis has revealed a vulnerable global society. Fortu- nately, the latest developments have shown signs of recovery thanks to deliberate and well-coordinated global political actions which have created new confidence among companies and consumers. This political commitment can be seen as recognition that global production and trade create wealth for all of us, with shipping and associated maritime industries as the primary enablers. In order to keep focus on the important agenda of sustainable and green shipping attention must turn towards innov a- tion and efficient regulation. Nowadays, shipping industry is dependent on fossil fuels. As oil price is constantly increasing, solu- tions must be found in order to ensure industry sustainability. Developing and implementing energy efficient and envi...

This research investigates the application of photovoltaic (PV) systems on ship retrofits with the aim of reducing the emission of harmful gases. By using renewable energy resources, this research presents the potential for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving energy efficiency in maritime operations, specifically within the Split coastal area. Overcoming the space restrictions on ships, an innovative design is presented to maximize the installation area for solar power. The research is conducted for several cases based on the IHOGA simulator, for all ship phases, and it aims to minimize fuel consumption by the diesel generators, thus emphasizing the use of renewable energy resources. A model with two operational modes is designed: Mode 1 allows surplus power to charge batteries or supply the port network, while Mode 2 covers power deficits from alternative sources. The implementation of renewables results in carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emission re...

TECHNO-ECONOMIC APPROACH TO SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS ONBOARD MARINE VEHICLES

The world is facing the challenge of continuously increasing energy consumption. At the same time, the energy resources are getting scarcer. Despite a sudden significant drop of fuel prices worldwide, research activities that focus on reducing the dependence on fossil fuels as a traditional source of energy still have the preference in the field of shipping industry. The use of clean and renewable energies, such as solar energy for instance, is proposed as a method to improve the ship efficiency. Ships can get the benefits from solar energy due to the fact that most of their upper decks are always exposed to the Sun, especially in sunny water regions. The present paper discusses the effectiveness and challenges of installing solar panels for auxiliary power production on board a ship. As a case study, the research evaluates both economic and environmental benefits resulting from implementing such concept aboard a research vessel.

The modernization of the Danube IWT fleet involves developing the needed know-how for retrofitting of the Romanian fleet in accordance with Stage V emissions legislation. The end goal is achieving lower air pollutant emissions by increasing efficiency, lowering energetic needs and decreasing the environmental footprint of the Danube IWT fleet. The following paper presents principles of the design-for-retrofitting methodology developed for inland ships. The technologies involved aim at improving the efficiency of emissions after-treatment and meeting Stage V requirements.

The present paper shown a work in research and development of a small solar boat design, this work has been developed in Anast/ULG-Belgium as reference for Postgraduate degree in Naval Architecture. The development of a methodology of simple calculation, step by step, for solar boat is shown here, taking in account the use of clean energy, minimum weight of the boat and minimum price of fabrication, for this has been considerate: boat weight; sheet specification; material utilized; appropriate propulsion; necessary quantity of solar panels; quantity of batteries; adequate engine; until to the final commercial price. The Nautilus is a solar powered pleasure boat and basically designed for day-and weekend-trips.
