Pitch control for ships with diesel mechanical and hybrid propulsion
Modelling, validation and performance quantification
Ships, in particular service vessels, need to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and cavitation noise while maintaining manoeuvrability and preventing engine overloading. Diesel mechanical propulsion with controllable pitch propellers can provide high fuel efficiency with good ...
Diesel A-M (A-Modular) Model Proposed
Expanding the Diesel A model for advanced turbocharging capabilities
The Diesel A model has been developed with the idea of looking at overall engine cycle performance in a larger system. As such, the goal has always been to provide an acceptable prediction of the engine performance without sacrificing the computational performance of the model. T

Towards autonomous shipping
Operational challenges of unmanned short sea cargo vessels
Autonomous shipping is considered a highly promising development in the shipping industry. Technologically it is believed to be possible, but there are several challenges that still need to be solved before autonomous shipping can become a reality. In this paper the main challeng
