MINIMIZE FUEL CONSUMPTION USING TRIM THE SHIPS LOADING COMPUTER AND ALARM MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

Minimizing fuel consumption is a major focus in the maritime industry. The laws and regulations on this subject are continuously tightened resulting in new innovative ideas. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) by means of At MEPC 62 (July 2011) declared the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) mandatory for new ships. Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) was made mandatory for all ships. This paper reviews currently applied methods and discusses ways to combine and extend these.
