Motivation → The need for reducing shipping's: global energy consumption & GHG emissions
16 different scenarios developed by the Third IMO GHG study (Smith et al., 2014)
The IMO 2050 target, agreed in April 2018
The IMO 2050 GHG strategy can be summarized in three bullet points
• Reduce the carbon intensity of ships through implementation of further
phases of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) for new ships.
• Reduce CO2 emissions per transport work by at least 40% by 2030, pursuing
efforts to reducing them by 70% by 2050 (compared with 2008)
• To peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and
to reduce annual GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 (compared to
2008).
The IMO 2050 target are within reach with todays technology (Bouman, Lindstad, Rialland, Strømman, Transportation Research Part D, 2017 )

Approach to achieving the IMO target, i.e. 75 – 85% reduction per ton nm up to 2050
3 – Low and zero carbon fuels
1 – Reduce energy consumptionthrough hull form and design above the waterline, power
systems, and how energy is used onboard
Combining Scenario 1 – 3
2 – Operations & Supply chain
3 - Low and Zero carbon fuels versus Traditional fuels

Stricter EEDI thresholds might not give the desired reductions - The Aframax case

Stricter EEDI does not encourage slender hull forms which reduces the required power
The lesson learnt from the car industry indicates the importance of having realistic test conditions
We perform a feasibility study on MR-tankers, to investigatepotential GHG reductions up to 2030 based on existing technology

• Investigate the real potential of CP-propeller
• Utilize the results and knowledge gained through the EGR – scrubber
