Highlights Methods for evaluating operation energy efficiency are applied to inland river ships. The energy efficiency operational indicator varies significantly for different river conditions. The energy efficiency operational indicator is not direct proportional to engine speed.
Abstract This paper looks at the energy consumption and green house gas emissions of inland river shipping, and compares them with the performance of seagoing ships. The analysis is based on a case study of container shipping on the Yangtze River, China. Data were collected under both calm water and real navigation conditions, and energy efficiency operation indices under these conditions are calculated and analyzed. We find that the navigation environment can influence significantly the operational energy efficiency of inland river ships.
