Aims
The module aims to provide the student with an opportunity to examine the energy efficiency measures and systems that could be implemented at sea and/or in ports, based on an appraisal of current practices.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Review legislation and case studies focusing on energy efficiency.
2.
Appraise current energy efficiency practices at sea and in ports.
3.
Propose energy efficiency systems that could be implemented on ships or in ports.
4.
Develop an energy efficiency plan.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
A review of the possible causes and outcomes of climate change and a general introduction to energy efficiency methods, energy management practices and the supporting legislation.
An appraisal of energy efficiency practices currently used in shipboard and port operations, including issues which have been addressed, those that are still outstanding, and developments (e.g. procedural) that may help to improve operations in the future. Identification of the equipment/machinery that is currently impacting energy efficiency in shipboard and port operations, and an investigation into its development, both historical and current, with a focus on the options for improved efficiency.
An evaluation of energy management at sea and in ports, including the development and management of energy efficiency plans, the impact of key roles, systems and operations, and the use of data collection and analysis as part of the monitoring and review process.
A review of the processes currently used by authorities to ensure that the management systems meet national and international standards. The perceived effectiveness of using multiple energy efficiency management systems collaboratively, with specific focus on those implemented in ports and on the ships operating in them, including potential procedural issues and options available to mitigate them.
