(TU Delft Ship Design, Production and Operations) Date 2022 Abstract In order to reduce fossil fuel consumption of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) by 70% in 2050, the use of alternative fuels on the large naval surface vessels is examined. This paper examines the implications for the design and operational effectiveness of these vessels by performing two case studies of the Zeven Provinci¨en air defence and command frigate (LCF) and the Johan de Witt landing platform dock (LPD). In the case studies an operational analysis, a parametric design study, and an effectiveness assessment are performed on multiple proposed designs. Results showed that it is possible to reduce the fossil fuel consumption of the RNLN by almost 70%. This does affect the design of the vessels, however. It was also concluded that the LPD is more suitable for the application of low-energy-density fuels than the LCF, due to its missions requirements. Both the LPD and the LCF show a significant increase in displacement and fuel cost, but it is possible to reduce effects on the operational effectiveness to a minimum.
