| Popis: | One of the mostimportant actors of maritime transport is cargo ships where cargo istransported. Nowadays, the expansion of the maritime trade volume withincreasing acceleration, the increase in the size and quantity of ships in the world’smerchant navy fleet cause transportation costs to decrease per ton while tobring some negative effects such as air pollution. The major cause ofship-source air pollution is the conventional fuel used in propulsion systems.As of 2006, serious steps are being taken in the context of air pollutionprevention measures that have been on the agenda in the sector on a globalscale. In this study, recent academic literature conducted on this subjectreviewed in recent years, renewable energy and other fuel types that can beused in efficiency equivalent to conventional fuel were evaluated. As a resultof this thematic review, although the ship projects carried out with renewableenergy in the project phase are exciting, the most powerful alternative in theshort term seems liquefied natural gas (LNG) which is not accepted as renewablebut found to be successful in terms of emissions. It can be used in ships withtonnage nearby coastal voyages, while in the offshore vessels which constitutethe main emission problem; renewable energy is evaluated within the scope ofadditional measures that increase efficiency in the short term. In addition, asa fuel alternative, hydrogen is a candidate for future ship fuel in the mediumand long term. |
