Sustainable Energy Systems on Ships

Sustainable Energy Systems on Ships is a comprehensive technical reference for all aspects of energy efficient shipping. The book discusses the technology options to make shipping energy consumption greener, focusing on the smarter integration of energy streams, the introduction of renewable resources and the improvement of control and operability. Chapters not only describe each technology individually, but also analyze their interconnections when implemented onboard, and compare them in terms of suitability for different vessels and economic viability.

Readers of Sustainable Energy Systems on Ships will find an invaluable reference suitable for researchers, professionals, and managers involved in the shipping industry and those working on related energy efficiency technologies, fuel cells, and in the transport industry generally. Students of maritime engineering will also be well served by this reference.

• Clear analysis of the current implementation status of each technology discussed, the barriers for further development, and the potential for large-scale implementation
• Enables decision-making on the most suitable technologies for each type of vessel
• Integrates energy efficiency and emission control rules, regulations, technologies (including data science), and challenges in relation to the shipping industry
• Includes industry case studies on the integration of novel energy conversion technologies and renewable energy sources in operating ships
