Abstract
This study deals with the new technologies of shipbuilding energy saving devices and methods applied to ships in order to save the energy they consume, and, consequently, the fuel consumption. Initially, the contribution of shipping to world trade as the main carrier and its impact on the global climate is described. Subsequently, is described the existing legal framework regarding IMO regulations for the reduction of air pollutants from ships. This imposes corrective actions and harmonization with the required energy indicators, such as the EEXI and the CII. In the framework of the required actions set by the IMO, the existing new energy saving devices that are applied to ships and their impact on energy saving are presented. Examples of such energy saving devices are, the PBCF, pre-swirl ducts, the use of wind power as propulsion assistance and the Air Lubrication System. During the decision-making process for the adoption of each measure, the available tools are presented, which evaluate their overall performance. The decision can be based on CFD, EFD results and full-scale data. Finally, the model EE APPRAISAL TOOL FOR IMO of the DNV-GL classifier is presented, which uses various data so that it can be assessed whether their application is feasible relatively to the installation cost and the amortization of the investment.
