摘要

Air emissions reduction is a major issue for the marine industry concerning both the existing fleet but also the designs that are currently on the drawing board. The emissions coming from the exhaust gases of the ships can be separated into those that add to the environmental pollution (NOx, SOx and PM) and to those fuelling the global warming of the atmosphere (CO2, NH3). The IMO has put forth limits for the pollutant emissions from ships which are presented and discussed in Section 1. There are several solutions today in the industry that can help reduce the fuel consumption of ships. The GHG emissions are absolutely linked to the energy efficiency of the ship. There are many available solutions today to improve the energy efficiency of ships. Some of these options have been implemented and their global efficiency verified on this case study.
