Thank you very much Mr. Kristinn. So far I know there are two cooling cycle in the engine, and the high temperature cooling cycle is enclosed with special chemicals(?? ) to provide corrosion free environment for the engine body. The sea water works…
The latest renewable technology on the market that everyone is getting excited about is ASHP’s or ground source heat pumps. Although not strictly a renewable energy there are certain benefits to be had when installing one of these ASHP’s as you don’…
Hi Rubina,
Since ships are of different sizes and surf different needs there is no general rule in engine types. You could generalize by saying that larger ocean going vessels are operating with slow speed two stroke diesel engines (around 100 rpm)…
this has been a good idea. I am trying to focus on using all possible waste heat source in a ship and provide desalinated water. I do not have much info about a ship's different working systems; what type of engine is used and what kind of heat exch…
Hi Shaun,
We have been following the dialog closely. The KPI I have seen most often used is EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Index) . The EEOI is giving a view of CO2 emitted for each cargo mile (CO2/nm/CargoTon). For calculating CO2 emissions y…
Does anyone have performance benchmarks for different types of merchant ships?. Is there anyone out there specialising in this area and if so what is the accepted method (calculation) that you/they are using. I have read that IMO are working on a ca…
Hi
Well who says energy efficiency does not work. This is a recent report from Maersk.

Dear Mr.Wright,
Greetings
You are right. As other said correctly the waste can be used for HVAC of accommodation, even engine room too. Though the initial cost of waste heat operated absorption chiller systems(li+br & Ammonia, water) for refrigera…

Great website. I have spent a considerable amount of time looking for energy efficiency information on the web for marine applications and have not come up with much. Nice to know that there is others out there with the same views.

Performance benchmarks
Does anyone have performance benchmarks for different types of merchant ships?. Is there anyone out there specialising in this area and if so what is the accepted method (calculation) that you/they are using. I have read that IMO are working on a carbon performance index but not finalised yet. If this info is out there could you please let me know as I am working on a project at the moment and any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Many thanks

- We are currently doing both onboard audits and working with firms to review new builds. Also we are working with firms on re-engineering of older vessels.

- Shaun,
Currently were are doing US Flag vessels. It has been a mixture of reasons for them to request these audits. The two big reasons is the cost of fuel these days and the impending regulatory issues.

This site was deployed to fill the gap you mention. If you have some other sites, articles or insight to share please write a blog or create a thread in the forums.
It would also be interesting to hear more about your process and interesting results of your audits.
