The maritime sector is important for the facilitation and growth of global trade. Currently, about 90% of the goods are transported by ships and as a result, the number of ships has risen, increasing the emissions related to shipping. Pollution caused by exhaust gas, especially the sulphur oxide emission, from marine diesel engines has become a...

Waterborn transport currently runs on diesel driven Internal Combustion Engines<br/>(ICE). To reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions an option is to shift towards<br/>alternative fuels, like alcohols. This thesis focusses on methanol in ICEs. The<br/>combustion of methanol in ICEs can be done in numerous manners, where fuel<br/>altering,...

To reduce the climate change impact of shipping and retain compliance with increasingly strict emission regulations, alternative fuels are required. Methanol is expected to be one of the renewable alternatives. However, it evaporates easily compared to for example Diesel and its vapours are toxic and flammable. Regulations prescribe the use of...

In this graduation thesis the feasibility of a camera as sensor for nautical operations is investigated. In<br/>aerospace and automotive industries autonomous vehicles are already widely tested and used. However<br/>the marine industry has fallen behind in this development. Therefore this research is focussing on<br/>automation in the maritime...

Growing concern about global warming and climate change intensified the research into more efficient ways of operation in the maritime industry. These researches triggered the use of electrical batteries in hybrid systems. Van Oord aims to operate more efficiently, which implies using less fuel and thus emitting less carbon dioxide. A way to...

The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether energy storage devices can be used in order to reduce the local, harmful, polluting emissions of an urban ferry. This is investigated by modeling zero emission energy storage devices (ESDs) in the power and propulsion configuration of a benchmark urban ferry. This benchmark ferry provides the...

Boekhout, Martijn (author)
The shipping industry has a notable share in global greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants such as sulphur and nitrogen oxides. Fuel cells and batteries are identified as relatively new technologies for shipping with high potential and hydrogen is also considered as one of the most promising sustainable fuels, especially for smaller...

Ship accidents are caused daily others not so important with only scratches on the ship hulls and others are fatal for human life and also the environment. Some of the accidents are caused due to human error, but many are generated due to extreme conditions and to the minimized capabilities of the ships' designs. Ships seem to be underpowered in...

Carbon dioxide emission into the earth’s atmosphere by maritime activities are a concern for the people within and outside the industry. This is because of the environmental impacts that are caused by these greenhouse gas emissions which changes the very chemistry of this planet. These impacts can be mitigated by reducing the CO2 emissions which...

Nuclear power is currently not a commonly used option in commercial marine applications, despite its potential for significant emission reductions. This thesis is an overview of what has been done before, and what the potential is of modern marine nuclear power applications considering the long-term goals of harmful emission reduction in the...

The aging behaviour of lithium-ion batteries is studied to develop an aging prediction model for the capacity loss of batteries in full electric ships. This model is used to investigate the effects of battery aging on the battery size and operational strategies of two case studies, a full electric ferry and a full electric tug.

The environmental pollution and depleting fossil fuels have been considered as a critical issue all over the world. Many efforts have been devoted to investigating alternative fuels to tackle these problems. Alcohol fuels are potential candidates to alternative energy as it can mitigate pollutant emission. In addition, alcohol fuels can be...

The reduction of the of harmful emissions that result fromyachting are an increasing concern and priority. It has been widely established that yachts have a significant contribution to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other emissions that are harmful to the environment and the public health. Measures must be taken that drastically reduce...

The use of fossil fuels and their impact on humans and nature is becoming a bigger concern worldwide. An interesting concept to lower polluting emissions coming from maritime engines is the combined use of a dual-fuel engine and an underwater exhaust system. In the dual-fuel engine natural gas is used as the main fuel type. It is seen as a...

Emission regulations applied to marine industry for amongst others the propulsion system of a vessel are becoming stricter due to governmental <br/>agreements to lower the greenhouse gas emissions. Engine manufactures<br/>are enhancing their engine designs to reduce the engine fuel consumption, which is commonly done by implementing a...

Heerema Marine Contractors operates large crane vessels, which are exploited for installation works in the offshore oil and gas industry. The benchmark power system of these crane vessels is diesel electric meaning that the main engines are driving alternators for generating electric power. But due to spiky power demand and strict redundancy...
