چکیده
Fuel saving and low carbon emission in shipping have already become an attractive and important subject in the shipping industry driven by the increasing full oil price and considerations of reduction of green house gas emission. Global shipping consumes 200 million tons of liquid fuel, resoluble for 1.12 billion tons of CO2 emission in the world. This paper presents the development of a novel forward dynamic programming method to optimise ship’s fuel consumption with respect to safety during a voyage. The constraints are weather, sea conditions and the safety constrains defined in the IMO guidance MSC.1/Circ.1228. Compared with the traditional dynamic programming methods, the newly developed weather routing method is more accurate and practical. Simulation results from a case study have shown that the newly developed method is able to save several tons of fuel compared with that of the traditional methods for one North Atlantic voyage. As a result, it can offer much CO2 emission reduction.

متن کاملResearch of Low Voltage Shore Power Supply Used on Shipping Based on Sliding Control
In order to solve the problem of fuel pollution, the diesel fuel for power generation of marine was abandoned and shore power supply have been proposed at the historic moment. The Shore Power Supply which needs transferring 380V/50Hz to 450V/60Hz is used on shipping who need this kind of power, so effectively curbs the emissions of pollution gas into the air, and achieves the purpose of improvi...

This paper formulates a mathematical model for the Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP), incorporating bi-fuel (natural gas and gasoline) pickup trucks in a mixed vehicle fleet. The objective is to minimize overall costs relating to service (earliness and tardiness), transportation (fixed, variable and fuel), and carbon emissions. To reflect a real-world situation, the study considers: (1) a co...
