The document discusses the failure of past container security solutions to gain adoption due to not addressing the business interests of ship owners in reducing costs. It proposes a solution that would bundle security monitoring hardware and software on ships with fuel consumption monitoring to provide a recurring revenue stream and quick return on investment. Trials and pilots are suggested to prove the concept with partnerships in Singapore before seeking global deployment and standardization.
Port congestion was an issue due to limited berths that were short in length and availability. A report from October 2009 showed that the port could only accommodate 3 ships in a single day. The report examined the status quo of using the existing multi-purpose berth versus building a second, dedicated berth. While the existing berth generated enough revenue to cover costs, building a new berth specifically for cruise ships could cost $12 million but help address the port congestion issues by increasing berth capacity and allowing for more ships. However, the long term viability of a single use berth relied on cruise ship traffic alone.

Compliance Monitoring of Sulfur Emissions from ShippingAlys Spillman
Ships emit large quantities of air pollutants and new regulations require lower sulfur fuel content and NOx abatement techniques to reduce emissions and their negative environmental impacts. However, complying with the new rules will significantly increase ship transport costs, providing an economic incentive for non-compliance. Currently, fuel usage is monitored through random checks and occasional sampling, but there is no way to monitor fuel usage at sea. Johan Mellqvist has developed a system over 8 years that combines custom software and an optical system to automatically monitor compliance through on-ship installation and remote detection from aircraft, ships, and fixed sites near shipping lanes.
The document describes a fuel monitoring solution called enginei that measures fuel consumption on ships. It acquires engine data and fuel usage from various engine types and transmits it to shore for technical managers to track. The system monitors supply and return fuel flows every 5 seconds to calculate efficient throttle settings. It displays basic readings on the bridge and uploads data to a web dashboard for shore-based analysis of fuel usage trends across fleets.

Integrating renewable energy technologies to reduce large ship fule consumpti...cahouser
This document analyzes renewable technology options to decrease fuel consumption on large ships. A simulation was conducted to evaluate the potential energy savings from rigid wing sails and solar panels on a 100m passenger ship. The simulation found that wind power from two 500m^2 rigid wing sails could provide an 18% reduction in annual fuel consumption. While solar panels provided minimal benefits due to intermittency, optimizing sail technologies and route selection may further reduce fuel usage and emissions. Energy storage provided only a 2% additional efficiency gain for load leveling applications.
The document summarizes regulations for preventing pollution from harmful substances carried by sea. It discusses the revised MARPOL Annex III regulations which were adopted in 2006 to harmonize with UN transportation standards. The regulations aim to safely package and identify marine pollutants. They prohibit jettisoning harmful substances except for ship safety and allow washing leakages overboard only if it does not impair safety. The regulations apply to all ships carrying such substances and require packaging, labeling, and documentation standards. Implementation was initially hampered by a lack of definition but amendments to the IMDG Code remedied this by identifying marine pollutants.

Probabilisitc analysis of marine fuels in emission controlled areasKamal Kannan
This document summarizes a probabilistic analysis of marine fuel options in emission controlled areas. It outlines the methodology used, which involved deterministic and probabilistic decision analyses of three fuel alternatives: a two-stroke diesel engine with scrubbers, an LNG-fueled engine, and a dual-fuel engine. The analysis found the optimal decision was diesel under deterministic analysis but changed to LNG when accounting for uncertainties in fuel prices, regulations, and other factors. Sensitivity analysis showed LNG became optimal with small changes to diesel and LNG prices or engine downtime. Risk analysis found the optimal decision shifted from diesel to LNG to dual-fuel as risk aversion increased.
This document summarizes the current and future state of LNG fueled ships. As of March 2014, there were 48 LNG fueled ships in operation worldwide and 53 confirmed LNG fueled newbuilds on order.
