Modern human settlementsHuman settlement rely on shippingShipping and maritime-related services to sustain key provisions of modern life. EnergyEnergy transition in maritimeMaritimetransportTransport is an important factor in developing sound and healthy delivery of such services. Exploratory research as well as costs are examined in the implementation of hybrid and electric propulsionElectric propulsion engines in ships as well as their use of on-shore powerOn-shore power. The use of renewable energyRenewable energy sources is considered, and the electrification of sea ports noted as a key piece to the energy transition puzzle. The chapter utilizes a number of example technologies and illustrates a schematic of a typical pure electric ship propulsion system. The capital costs function of hybrid propulsionHybrid propulsion is illustrated in relation to the change of CO2CO2emissionEmissions reduction costs—indicating its unsuitability for long haul shippingShipping. The methods described rear toward reducing the carbon footprint of the entire transshipmentTransshipment service and, thus, developing a cleaner and more energyEnergyefficient maritimeMaritimetransportTransport sector.
