The shipping industry plays a crucial role in global trade and transportation,
accounting for a significant portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions. Energy efficiency is, therefore, an important consideration for the industry
to reduce its environmental impact and increase its competitiveness. This thesis
evaluates and critically assesses the energy efficiency indicators used in the shipping
sector to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
The research methodology used in this study involves a review of existing energy
efficiency indicators used in the shipping sector. For more effective study, a separation
was made into overall and specific indicators, with the latter referring to specific
systems of the ship.
The findings of this study show that the energy efficiency indicators used in the
shipping sector vary in their effectiveness and suitability. Based on critical evaluation,
an analysis of the indicators is carried out, which is supported by criteria such as
reliability, completeness, and practicality.
