Industry Problem:

Through the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), the

industry also contributes significantly to climate change

There is continued increase in international maritime

transport which may result in shipping being

responsible for 6% of the world’s GHG emissions by

2020 & 15% by 2050.

Carbon emissions are depleting the ozone layer.

Globally, we need to half the carbon emissions by

2050.

Exposure to toxic emissions from shipping is

reported to cause cardiovascular & respiratory

diseases

Shipping Industry Background Information - EEDI

Since Jan 2013, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) ,

P is 75% of the rated installed shaft power,

SFC is the specific fuel consumption,

Cf is CO2 is emission rate based on fuel type,

DWT is the ship deadweight tonnage,

Vref is the vessel speed at design load.

The EEDI requires a minimum energy efficiency level (CO2 emissions) per capacity mile (e.g. tone mile) for different ship type and size segments.

Shipping Industry Background Information - EVDI

• RightShip’s Existing Vessel Design Index ,

the EVDI™ measures a ship’s CO2 emissions,

however, unlike the EEDI, the EVDI™ can be

applied to existing ships.

• The GHG Emissions Rating is a practical

measure derived from the EVDI™ that allows

relative comparison of a ship’s CO2 emissions

to vessels of a similar size and type.

Shipping Industry Background Information - SEEMP

A Ship Energy Efficiency Management

Plan (SEEMP) are mandatory for all ships

of 400 gross tonnage and above.

Shipping Industry Background Information - ESI

The Environmental Shipping Index (ESI) evaluates the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOX), sulphur oxide (SOX) that is released by a ship and includes a reporting scheme on the greenhouse gas emission of the ship. The ESI is a good indication of the environmental performance of ocean going vessels and will assist in identifying cleaner ships in a general way. The index is intended to be used by ports to reward ships when they participate in the ESI and will promote clean ships,

Shipping Industry Background Information - CSI

Clean Shipping Index (CSI) is a tool for

measuring the five areas of environmental

impact – CO2 emission, SOX and PM emissions,

NOX emissions, chemical products.

Clean Shipping Index estimates how well a

vessel is doing in each area. The weighing

together of the score gives a hint of the overall

performance.

Clean Shipping Index is a web-based tool which

is quick and easy to fill in for carriers – and to

no expense covers main types of vessels from all

ages

Challenges faced by the Shipping Industry - ECA

From 2016, new threshold will also

apply to nitrous oxide emissions.

From 2015, ships operating in Emissions

Control Areas will be required to use fuels with

0.1% or less sulphur content (versus 1%

previously)

Current Maritime Market for Data Analytics

The market of ships well suited for remote monitoring to analyze data

is about 30,000 out of 100,000 commercial class vessels globally.

These 30,000 vessels could create a $20 billion value in terms of reductions in fuel consumption, downtime, maintenance expenses and environmental fines. That number could go to $50 billion by 2030. Maersk container line has reduced greenhouse emissions per container moved nearly 40 percent since 2007 and is committed to a target reduction of 60 percent by 2020. The company expects an 80 percent increase in volumes by 2020 compared with 2007, so a 60 percent improvement in efficiency would cut container-related emissions by 40 percent. Maersk gives much of the credit for fuel and emissions reductions to its Global Voyage Centre, which monitors fleet operations round the clock from a situation room in Mumbai."The team is watching to ensure that the vessels keep to their optimum voyage speed.

Big Data helps Shipping Lines Cut Fuel Bills and Emissions

At a time when environmental concerns and energy prices

remain high, savings on fuel can make a significant

improvement to margins.

Accurate information on fuel consumption and routes can

mean the difference between winning a customer and letting

them go to a competitor.

Increasing levels of automation and onshore vessel control are

presenting opportunities to further reduce operational

expenditure.

TransMetrics brings big data to the transport and logistics

industry to improve capacity optimization, reduce costs and

reduce CO2 emission.

Goal/Solution: Build a Ship Emission Rating Index (SERI)

Some ships are more emission friendly than others….what is the impact of different factors in their contribution to how ‘green’ a ship is???

Emissions do not divide into ships equally and considerations such a ship size, fuel type, engine performance as well as maritime technology mean that some ships are more efficient than others

Comparison of Emission Reduction Measures / Tools

EEDI EVDI™

Measures theoretical CO2 emission performance of new ships over 400 gross tonnes & is calculated from ship design and engine performance data

The EVDI™ is similar to the EEDI but can be applied to existing ships.

Derived from the EVDI™ that

allows relative comparison of a

ship’s CO2 emissions to vessels of

a similar size and type.

GHG Emissions Rating

ESI

Gives a numerical representation of the environmental performance of ships and is a function of NOX ,SOX , CO2, PM, chemicals

CSI

Gives a rating to ships & shipping companies based on their environmental performance – CO2, SOX, PM2.5,PM10,NOX,Ballast Water, Bilge Water, Chemicals (antifouling, lubricants)

Uses fuel type, vessel type, TEU, CO2, SOX, engine type, PM2.5, PM10, NOX, time spent in port, vessel weight, scrubber, auxillary engine usage at berth, the way they operate their ship, country, owner, classification society, weather, speed, propeller polishing, autopilot, hull coatings, lubricants, propeller upgrade, main engine tuning, water flow optimization, speed control of pumps and fans ++++++ .

SERI (Ship Emission Rating Index)

Predictive Model for Determining Emission Rating Index

Machine learning algorithm used to predict the ship emission rating index

Container database has a list of green ships that will be used

Dynamically Measuring How Green a Ship is…..using SERI

The analytical approach is suitable as it will allow us to:

Identify the key factors that contribute to the green index for each ship type

Identify which of the key factors have a positive effect and which factors have a negative effect for

each ship type

Determine the size and impact of each factor on the green index for each ship type

Assess the impact of SOx, NOx, CO2, PM2.5, PM10 on the green index
