Freight transport is a crucial component of our society and economy. However, achieving sustainability in this sector is complex, due to a lack of incentives among stakeholders. The heavy-duty road transport sector is struggling to meet European emission standards. To address this issue, a research study examined the impact of combining Battery...

Currently, our society faces a pressing challenge: global warming. The solution lies in the energy transition, which replaces fossil fuels with clean sources. This requires a global effort across all sectors, including shipping. While a significant portion of shipping relies on polluting fuels, the European Union’s Green Deal aims for climate...

Electro-fuels (E-fuels) are a potential zero-carbon fuel option, that are able to reduce emissions from the marine sector. However, e-fuels still face several challenges, as currently, their production costs are high, and the implementation<br/>of e-fuels in the marine sector is still in a research and development phase. Therefore, this study...

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....

To reach the goals of the European Green Deal (CO2 emission reduction of 55% by 2030 and climate neutral by 2050), North-Western Europe has to import sustainable energy as locally produced renewable energy will not be sufficient to meet the total demand. This will be realised by importing green hydrogen from areas with a surplus of renewable...

The maritime industry faces more and more restrictions on the amounts of greenhouse gases, and particularly CO2 which the IMO allows to be emitted by ships. Carbon capture technology promises to be able to significantly reduce the CO2 emissions on ships and is most compatiblewith LNG powered vessels by filtering the CO2 from the exhaust gases....

This thesis aims in the development of a parametric modelling method for the preliminary ship design based on Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). The research work was conducted in cooperation with C-Job Naval Architects. Nowadays, parametric models can be seen as the core of the design practice since they facilitate the exploration of the...

Reducing the cost and CO2 emission for the power generation for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant by using inverter based generation is the main challenge posed in this thesis. Both factors can be decreased by using inverter based generation instead of the conventional gas powered power plant for generating the power for a islanded...

The aviation sector is growing every year with a steady pace of 5%. With this growth, the greenhouse emissions can only rise in the future until new innovative aircraft are designed such as electrical aircraft. An interim solution is to switch the fuel from kerosene to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG is much cleaner for the environment, cheaper...

The crises of global warming, air pollution, acid rain and the running out of oil make the investigation into alternative fuel technologies crucial. New technologies are being investigated on a global scale in an attempt to address these problems. This thesis investigates the use of hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engines and fuel cells. The economic...

This work is focusing on the 2020 IMO sulphur regulation and its impact on the shipping industry and more particularly Fednav’s activity. The thesis report presents a holistic approach starting with IMO emission regulations including current and future. The thesis is then moving on to Fednav business characteristic followed by the possible...

Worldwide, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required to keep climate change to a more or less acceptable level. As of yet, the shipping industry has found no solution to this problem: it is expected that international shipping will be stuck with fossil fuels for the coming decades. <br/>A promising way to tackle the problem is...

Cutter suction dredgers are a type of hydraulic dredgers often used in areas with hard soil where other types of dredging vessels would be ineffective. As a result of the wide range of type of soil that is being cut a lot of variation is seen in the power demand on the cutter suction dredger's diesel-electric power generation system....

The term Leak-Before-Break (LBB) refers to a well-established safety criterion used to assess whether cracked tanks or pipes can leak detectable amounts of fluid as a warning before catastrophic failure occurs. In this research The LBB criterion was applied to the safety assessment of spherical Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) containment systems on...

Mooring a vessel is generally still done by means of ropes. The main disadvantages of mooring with ropes are that the process of mooring a vessel can take up to 90 minutes, it involves unsafe situations for, and cargo handling efficiency can be suboptimal. Mampaeys goal is to provide an active mooring system that adresses these challenges. It...

Due to the current policies from the European Union and Dutch government, LNG which used as fuel for heavy-duty vehicles is intensively increased. Consequently, the probabilities of accident during operations of LNG transportation are expected to increase. This thesis aims to study LNG hazards and assess the risks in LNG transportation chain. To...

Load response is the ability of an engine to cope with a sudden change of load, expressed as a percentage of the rated power per second. A low load response threatens the employability of a vessel. Goal of this research is solving the load response challenge, which enables the option of full LNG power for all vessels, without limiting...

Natural Gas (NG) can be used as fuel for several forms of transport. NG converted into liquid is called Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG has a favourable energy density for ease of transport and storage. On the other hand, LNG is cryogenic at -162 °C. To use LNG as fuel, it is required to use an LNG fuel system. An LNG fuel system consists...

In Ukraine a project is initiated to increase their energy independence, which is realized with diversifying the natural gas supply. By expanding the port of Yuzhny with an import LNG regasification terminal, it is possible to import LNG from various production plants. The scope separates the value of the terminal in short term and long term...

In recent times the fuel prices have increased significantly. This implies major reductions in profit margins for airlines. Additionally the increasingly stringent emission standards for aircraft generate the need for better fuel economy. This master thesis aims at providing a contribution to lower the emissions made by future turbofan engines...
