Abstract
This paper investigates the spatial requirements of alternative marine energy carriers and their impact on ship design and powering for constant operational requirements. A parametric design tool for bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships has been developed for the predicted future marine energy carriers to determine the main engine brake power increase. The results indicate that all ship type and energy carrier combinations require a higher total installed engine power and consequently a higher energy carrier consumption. The results are intended to support the determination on the total environmental impact of marine energy carriers while taking the increased energy consumption into account.
