This paper develops a dynamic regression model to quantify the contribution of key external factors to operational energy efficiency of ships. On this basis, kernel density estimation is applied to explore distribution patterns of fluctuations in operational performance. An empirical analysis based on these methods show that distribution of fluctuations in Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) is leptokurtic and fat tailed, rather than a normal one. Around 85% of fluctuations in EEOI can be jointly explained by capacity utilization and sailing speed, while the rest depend on other external factors largely beyond control. The variations in capacity utilization and sailing speed cannot be fully passed on to the energy efficiency performance of ships, due to complex interactions between various external factors. The application of the methods is demonstrated, showing a potential approach to develop a rating mechanism for use in the legally binding framework on operational energy efficiency of ships.

To prevent pollution from ships, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) is a mandatory guideline for all new ships. The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) has also been applied by MARPOL to all existing ships. SEEMP provides the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) for monitoring the operational efficiency of a ship. By monitoring the EEOI, the shipowner or operator can establish strategic plans, such as routing, hull cleaning, decommissioning, new building, etc. The key parameter in calculating EEOI is Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC). It can be measured on board while a ship is operating. This means that only the shipowner or operator can calculate the EEOI of their own ships. If the EEOI can be calculated without the actual FOC, however, then the other stakeholders, such as the shipbuilding company and Class, or others who don't have the measured FOC, can check how efficiently their ships are operating compared to other ships. In this study, we propose a method to estimate the EEOI without requiring the actual FOC. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, ship static data, and environment data that can be publicly obtained are used to calculate the EEOI. Since the public data are of large capacity, big data technologies, specifically Hadoop and Spark, are used. We verify the proposed method using actual data, and the result shows that the proposed method can estimate EEOI from public data without actual FOC.

국제해사기구의 해양환경보호위원회에서 CO₂ 배출량 감축의 지구적 노력에 동참하기 위해 최근 선박에서 대기로 방출하는 CO₂의 양을 지수화 하고자 하는 논의가 활발히 진행중이다. 그 대표적인 지수로서 신조선 설계 건조시에 적용하는 에너지 효율지수(EEDI : Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships)와 현재 또는 건조 후 항행시에 운항선에 적용되는 에너지 효율지표(EEOI : Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator), 그리고 운항선의 에너지 효율관리 계획(SEEMP : Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan)등이다. 본 지수는 선박을 설계 건조시부터 각 선박당 CO₂의 배출값을 산정하고 운항시에도 CO₂배출을 개량하고 이를 감축하는 방안을 모색하도록 유도하는 조치가 될 것이다. 향후 3년내에 발효될 수 있는 임박한 CO₂선박 배출 규제를 조사 분석하고 향후 발전방향을 모색해 보고자 한다.

최근 조선해양의 주요 이슈 중 하나는 선박의 대기 및 해양 오염 배출량 감소 문제이다. 이에 대하여 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 선박으로 부터의 오염방지를 위한 국제협약(MARPOL)을 체결하고, 부속서 6을 통해 선박의 배기가스에 포함된 대기와 해양의 오염을 제한하고 규제하고 있다. 이를 위해 조선사의 신규 선박 건조에 대해서는 에너지 효율 설계 지수(EEDI)를 적용하고, 운항중인 선박에 대해서는 에너지 효율 운항 지표(EEOI)를 적용을 권고함으로써 환경오염물질의 배출을 최소화하도록 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 운항중인 선박의 실제 항해 데이터를 기반으로 선박의 운항 효율 등급(EG)을 산출하고, 해양환경 데이터 분석을 통해 에너지 효율적인 최적항로 탐색 정보를 제안하고자 한다.

The ships have a lot of electric machinery needed to supply electricity from the moment of launching coming out of dry dock to docking at jetty. Thus, the ships always have to use alternator and electric machinery that has low efficiency under the low load. Many government service ships like the MMU training ship have been spending lots of time at jetty rather than sailing at sea. These ships are operated under the condition of low load due to the operation of basic machinery at jetty and electric machineries are driven with the status of low efficiency. This paper would suggest the energy saving method for these ships. The investigation describes that shore connection is a great asset to these ships and that the flow rate control by adjusting revolution with the adoption of inverter is better than flow rate control by using throttle valve to save energy. The result is based on the investigation of cooling pump at MMU training ship.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) proposed the Energy Efficiency Operation Indicator (EEOI) in 2005 and the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) in 2008 so as to address emission concern and regulation. Likewise, Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) monitoring and management are also becoming an issue lately. This paper introduces the energy efficiency design index (operation indicator) monitoring system (EDiMS) software can continuously monitor $CO_2$, $NO_x$, $SO_x$, and PM values emitted from ship. The accurate inventory of ships GHG can be obtained from base of emission result during the engine shop test trial and the actual monitoring of shaft power and ship speed. In addition, the ability to store all exhaust emission and engine operation data can be applied as the useful tool of the inventory work of air pollution and ship energy management plan for the mitigation or reduction of ship emissions.

The maritime sector is advancing with dedicated endeavor to reduce greenhouse gas in addressing issues with regards to global warming. Since 01 January 2013, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation mandatory requirement for Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) has been in place and should be satisfied by newly-built ships of more than 400 gross tonnage and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships type. Therefore, compliance to this necessitates planning during the design stage whereas verification can be carried-out through an acceptable method during sea trial. The MEPC-approved 2013 guidance, ISO 15016 and ISO 19019 on EEDI serves the purpose for calculation and verification of attained EEDI value. Individual ships EEDI value should be lower than the required value set by these regulations. The key factors for EEDI verification are power and speed assessment and their synchronization. The shaft power can be measured by telemeter system using strain gage during sea trial. However, calibration of shaft power onboard condition is complicated. Hence, it relies only on proficient technology that operates within the permitted ISO allowance. On the other hand, the ship speed can be measured and calibrated by differential ground positioning system (DGPS). An actual test on a newly-built vessel was carried out to assess the correlation of power and speed. The Energy-efficiency Design Index or Operational Indicator Monitoring System (EDiMS) software developed by the Dynamics Laboratory-Mokpo Maritime University (DL-MMU) and Green Marine Equipment RIS Center (GMERC) of Mokpo Maritime University was utilized for this investigation. In addition, the software can continuously monitor air emission and is a useful tool for inventory and ship energy management plan. This paper introduces the synchronization and identification method between shaft power and ship speed for EEDI verification in accordance with the ISO guidance.

We investigate some operation characteristics and energy efficiency of the BLDC motor system driven by different two types power conversion method depends on same battery source for applying to electrical motor propulsion system of a small ship. Also, we suggest an estimation manner of operating performances such as total running distance and operating speed of ships from basic discharge voltage characteristics of batteries. Through some experiments, direct power conversion was better than indirect method on the view point of energy efficiency and the voltage discharge characteristics could be used as important design factor for estimating operating performances of small ships driven by electrical motors.

본 논문에서는 IMO에서 논의 중인 운항선의 에너지효율지표에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. IMO의 온실가스 저감을 위한 정책방안을 살펴보고 그 중 운항선에 대한 에너지효율지표를 분석하였다. 화물량에 대한 연료소비율 산정방법을 이용하는 에너지효율지표를 실제 운항선에 적용하여 결과를 분석하고 문제점을 제기하였다. 이를 바탕으로 엔진 부하에 대한 연료소비율을 이용하는 개선된 에너지효율지표를 제시하고 운항선에 적용하였다. 결과를 통해 개선된 에너지효율지표가 운항선에 대해 합리적인 이산화탄소 배출률을 정의할 수 있다고 판단하였다.
