Container shipping lines have been initiating various ship fuel efficiency management programs because bunker fuel costs always dominate the daily operating costs of a container ship. As the basis of these kinds of programs, we develop a viable research methodology for modeling the relationship between...
The ship has a number of modern equipment installed to aid in lowering fuel usage as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The ship’s air lubrication system is intended to cut overall energy consumption and carbon emissions by three to four percent. A total of 24,000 TEU container vessels have...
The world's largest container ship, with a capacity of 24,116 TEUs, was delivered in Shanghai, marking another new record set by China in the field of container ship building. The ship, Mediterranean Tessa, is nearly 400 meters long and has a deck area equivalent to four standard ...
All obtained results were statistically processed to analyze fuel consumption at various speeds, considering the ship's trim. It turns out that savings should never be at the expense of navigation safety, especially in limited maneuvering areas, such as canals. When maneuvering in such places it ...
672 DWT, while the maximum cargo capacity is20,170TEU.In addition, the ship has various highly advanced energy-saving technologies, including low friction underwater paint, a high-efficiency rudder, and an improvised propeller, which reduces the water resistance and thus helps boost fuel efficiency...
2. Packing for your full container – packing your goods to be transported by container ship is just the same as for any move, so all the common sense tips apply, such as using clean, strong boxes, newspaper, bubble wrap and sealing cartons with parcel tape. Make sure you keep an inven...
• An environmental and economic evaluation is performed for LNG system application on a container ship. • Monte Carlo simulation is used for the analysis by taking into account uncertainties. • It is determined that LNG investment is highly sensitive to the cost of the fuel. • Although...
(LNG) as ship fuel has recently gained more attention not only in Europe, but also in Asia and the USA. There are three noticeable drivers which, taken together, make LNG as ship fuel one of the most promising new tech- nologies for shipping. 1. using LNG as ship fuel will reduce ...
Denmark's Maersk said on Monday it has secured fuel for the first container vessel able to run on carbon-neutral methanol on its inaugural journey, from South Korea to Denmark. The 21,500 km long summer trip from Ulsan to Copenhagen will be fuelled by bio-methanol fuel produced from biogas...
World’s first 13,000 TEU dual-fuel container ship, constructed by the biggest shipbuilding company in China, was delivered to its French owner in Shanghai.
