Green Ship Management: Competence of Research Ships

D. Rajasekhar*; Dr N Manoharan; Dr S. Poongavanam

Abstract

The principal focus of this paper is to provide a look at the existing green ship management measures implemented in research ships for an expedition and thereby enhancing the scientific competence as well. Increasing fuel prices, ship emissions [NOX/SOX] and growing environmental concerns are motivating the shipping industry to be more energy efficient. Therefore it is indispensable to develop and implement energy efficient operational measures to make ships greener and cleaner for future generations.
