Objetivo To demonstrate that significant energy savings can be achieved in shipping companies by a total energy management system involving :- an increased efficiency of mechanical equipment- improved tide and weather routing- an optimal ship utilisation- monitoring of fuel inputs and outputs- optimal dynamical scheduling;On 2 of the Bell Lines ships, one a standard vessel and the other a lengthened vessel. On one of the vessels waste heat will be used to assist in accommodation and water heating. It is expected to achieve an energy saving of 187 TOE/year for one of the demonstration vessels and 335 TOE/year for the 2 combined.Payback time is estimated at 2.6 years.Fuel costs constitute a large variable factor in the operation of the Bell Lines fleet of coastal container vessels. A total fuel economy package will generated energy savings on 2 vessels through : - a greater efficiency of the primary machinery by optimal tuning (optimal fuel injection timing; optimum compression ratio of the main engine; accurate survey of bunkers; adaptation of the injector nozzles to the precise type of fuel; maintaining the pitch in its optimal design even at reduced speed, correct design of the exhaust system, tuning of autopilot and rudder combination).- optimisation of speed and routing between ports under different weather and operational conditions - Energy bookkeeping- Optimised scheduling of vessel- Utilisation of the heat available from the main engine jacket water and exhausts from the auxiliary engines to space and water heating on one of the vessels; fitting of heat exchangers for purifier pre-heating on both demonstration vessels.- motivationof the marine personnel to the fuel economy objectives.The estimated fuel savings (TOE/year) are :: Per vessel Per 2 vesselsGreater efficiency of propulsion plant 37 74Saving in space and water heating 39 39Purifiers 37 74Tide and weather routing 25 50Dynamical scheduling 49 98 ---- ----TOTAL 187 335Payback time is estimated at 2.6 years assuming an investment of 100000 IR.pounds and a market fuel-price of 115 IR.pounds/TOE.
