de Bruin, Arnoud (author)International and local legislation on emission reduction urge the Dutch beam trawler fleet to reduce the use of fossil fuels. In 2015 the United Nations Paris Agreement was signed and as a result IMO and EU set the objective to reduce the GHG or CO2 emissions of the shipping industry. The Dutch beam trawler<br/>has been confronted with many...master thesis 2023

LI, wenzhu (author)Air emission reduction from the maritime industry is becoming pressing as massive global pollution regulations are in place. The design of new green transport vessels has to meet both financial and environmental requirements. The growing complexity of green transport vessels results in the research gap between current ship design methodologies...master thesis 2023

Scherpenhuijsen Rom, Erik (author)This paper provides an initial feasibility study of the potential installation of iron powder energy generation systems aboard a marine service vessel. After a short introduction as to the relevance of this study, the state-of-the-art iron powder energy generation is investigated. This information is then used to decide which marine service...master thesis 2023

Boer, Fons (author)There is uncertainty as to whether the stability criteria in the Dutch regulatory framework for commercial cruising vessels are safe and obtainable for the current Dutch commercial sailing fleet. Therefore, this paper aims to determine a suitable set of intact stability requirements for monohull sailing vessels operating under the Dutch flag,...master thesis 2023

Pothaar, Maarten (author)Progressing targets on GHG emission reduction urge the the Netherlands Ministry of Defense (NL MoD) to reduce the use of fossil fuels, as they announced to contribute to the Paris agreement by reducing its dependency on fossil fuels by at least 70% by the year 2050. However, without sacrificing striking power, because future naval combatants...master thesis 2022

Rutten, Stephan (author)The objective of this research is to evaluate what is required to make the operation of multiple robots feasible for large scale seafloor imaging campaigns. Three blocking issues were identified; high cost of subsea robots, limited handling efficiency and insufficiently performant localization technology. These are solved by applying, in order:...master thesis 2022

Peeten, Vino (author)The offshore wind market is growing rapidly, and new offshore wind projects are being launched more than ever. To keep up with demand, parts for these wind turbines are being produced all over the world. To get all the parts needed to their destination on time, they must be transported on heavy transport vessels (HTVs).<br/><br/>Today, business...master thesis 2022

Poullis, Ioannis (author)The main aim of the master thesis was to create a design tool for the arrangement of the Propulsion, Power and Energy (PPE) systems during the conceptual design stage in cooperation with Maritime Research Institute of Netherlands (MARIN). Within MARIN, a recent and novel methodology known as Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is implemented...master thesis 2022

Doornebos, Patryk (author)Internal combustion engine (ICE) emissions cause numerous social, environmental, health, and economic issues, including extreme weather or harm to public health. These effects are also experienced in the Chinese Pearl River Delta, where a high-speed, 200-passenger ferry named the Coastal Cruiser 200 (CC-200) uses ICEs to operate. The CC-200's...master thesis 2022

Milatz, Bas (author)The probabilistic damage stability method offers great design freedom when used as a base of design. However, due to the complexity of the calculation and amount of parameters that influence the attained index, much of this freedom is not being harnessed by designers. This research tries to give the designer more insight in where to look when...master thesis 2022

Lupoae, Laurentiu (author)Maritime transport represents one of the main means of product delivery and passenger transportation across the world but its impact on climate change has positioned it among the world's biggest CO2 pollutants. One of the most impacted regions in the world by maritime transport emissions is the South Pacific Region. Studies show that if climate...master thesis 2022

de Haas, Matthew (author)In this thesis a grey-box model is developed to predict the power increase over time due to marine biofouling. Biofouling is known as the undesired adverse effect of living organisms growing on submerged surfaces. Fouling creates roughness on the hull and propeller and thus additional frictional resistance and loss of propeller efficiency, also...master thesis 2022

Suy, Xander (author)Urgent action is needed to decrease maritime emissions. The renewable wind energy sector must also decrease its life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Total GHG emissions from offshore wind turbines are approximately 120% more compared to onshore wind turbines. Moreover, it is estimated that Walk to Work (W2W) vessels are responsible for 3.3...master thesis 2022

Mink van der Molen, Eise (author)As the world is shifting towards a more sustainable economy, regulation could be implemented to reduce emission from the chemical shipping industry. Confronted by regulation, it is important for shipowners to be able to select the most promising measure or alternative fuel for their specific operations and vessel to comply with such regulation....master thesis 2021

de Kwant, Jochem de Kwant (author)In order to meet climate change mitigation targets, the shipping industry must change to an alternative fuel. From a ship design perspective, the switch to an alternative fuel is often a downgrade with respect to the use of conventional fuels. For instance, most alternative fuels have a low energy density, rely on technology that is not fully...master thesis 2021

Bronkhorst, Philip (author)The growth in the offshore wind industry sees an increased demand for offshore service vessels (OSVs). These vessels often operate in harsh conditions, and their performance is heavily dependent on their seakeeping characteristics. Conventional ship design processes fail to effectively consider seakeeping early in the design process, leading to...master thesis 2021

van Lynden, Casper (author)Offshore wind plays a major role in the transition of conventional energy towards sustainable energy sources. To keep up with the increasing installation demand in this sector new offshore wind installation vessels are needed. There is a need for more certainty and predictability regarding the requirements of the future offshore wind...master thesis 2021

Odendaal, Kirsten (author)The adverse human contribution to global climate change has forced the yachting industry to acknowledge the need to reduce its environmental impact due to the client's increasing pressure and potential future regulations to limit the ecological effects. Unfortunately, current real-world data presents a significant disparity between predicted and...master thesis 2021

Streng, Jurjen (author)Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions have been at the forefront of both public and academic debate for some years. Although the shipping industry has managed to remain relatively free of climate regulation this is changing with the IMO goals for 2050. The military sector has also escaped scrutiny on sustainability issues. But this is also...master thesis 2021

Bakker, Michael (author)Design decisions which are made in the preliminary ship design phase have a significant influence on the performance and total cost of a ship. These design decisions are mostly made with very little knowledge of the ship design problem. In fact, it is the personal experience of the naval architect which plays a significant role in this phase of...master thesis 2021
