Energy Saving at Sea

...explains key principles underlying the energy efficient operation of ship machinery and equipment, while looking at some of the practical operational measures for energy saving on board ships.

What you will learn This course explains key principles underlying the energy efficient operation of ship machinery and equipment. The course will look at some of the practical operational measures for energy saving on board ships. The first module focuses on how energy can be saved by the engine department and the second module covers what the deck department, in cooperation with the company’s shore operations, can do to reduce energy consumption and, as a result, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the end of the course, you will be able to:  Identify which aspects of ship handling, ship operations and engine room operations can have an impact on energy saving; Describe how ship’s fuel consumption can be reduced; Outline the different measures that can improve ship energy efficiency; and Discuss how practical measures could be implemented on board your ship.
