The forced transition to green shipping, with 2050 as the future target date, is setting the shipping industry on alert. Certainly, the people in the shipping industry are aware of the public benefit that comes from reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are following the environmental regulations established by international organizations.
The subject of my thesis is: a) operational planning for GHG emission reduction and more energy efficient ships. b) Technological and fuel developments with a view to the necessary minimization in operational costs, since efficient design is vital for shipping.
IMO rules and guidelines (assessment triggers EEDI, EEXI, EEOI, etc.), the European Green Agreement for Maritime Transport (Fit for 55/ FuelEU maritime) and the inclusion in the EE Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) require accelerated adaptation.
To date, neither the technical specifications for the engines nor the new fuels to be used in the future have been crystallized. The question is also who bears the financial costs of adaptation and transition, although this is not the subject of my thesis.
