Development of Environmentally-Friendly Container Carrier “eFuture 13000C”

摘要

Plans for the energy-saving, environmentally-friendly 13 000 TEU Container Carrier have been developed and its conceptual design is complete. Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption will be reduced by about 30% compared to conventional container carriers of the same size. Propulsive performance will be improved through the newly developed twin-skeg hull form, and energy efficiency will increase due to the waste heat recovery system of the main engine. The carrier will use natural energy from photovoltaic panels and store it in large-capacity storage batteries. This newly developed container carrier is called “eFuture 13000C,” and it is the first ship of IHIMU’s environmentally-friendly ship series “eFuture.”.
