This report documents a project to develop a compendium of measures for improving shipboard energy efficiency in the maritime industry. The project was conducted for the US Department of Energy (DOE) and involved the maritime industry, government, and research communities. A literature review produced information on strategies, estimated percentage fuel savings, costs, and expected payback periods applicable to specific ship market sectors and propulsion plants under both normal and reduced speed operation. The information was compiled into a matrix, or chart, of over 60 fuel savings options that were refined with the assistance of representatives of the shipping industry, academic community, and relevant Federal agencies. Ten energy savings measures judged to have the greatest potential for reducing fuel consumption were determined. Among these measures were the development of crew motivation for active participation in energy efficiency imrovement programs; the revision of operating practices to emphasize and maximize the benefits of slow steaming; the application of self-polishing hull coatings; optimization of ship trim; propeller maintenance and replacement; and dieselization. A list of the ten most effective options, the final matrix with an explanatory sheet, and a roster of workshop participants were mailed to over 1000 ship owners and operators in US foreign trade. An important desired effect of this effort to promote improved shipboard energy efficiency is a reduction of demand for marine fuel at US ports. (ERA citation 07:047217)
