Challenges and opportunities for alternative fuels in the maritime sector

Anthony Foretich, George G. Zaimes, Troy R. Hawkins et al. · 1 Jan 2021

Amidst a period of historic transformation, the marine shipping sector faces uncertainty regarding its ability to reliably fuel while remaining compliant with new international environmental regulations and targets. Increasingly stringent environmental standards, and heightened regulatory focus on maritime decarbonization are driving infrastructural and technical development for alternative fuels and mixtures, engine concepts, and operating practices.…

Implications of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) on European container routes: A carbon leakage case study

Sotiria Lagouvardou, Harilaos N. Psaraftis · 1 Jan 2022

The paper focuses on the impacts of the inclusion of the maritime sector in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The enforcement of a regional Market-Based Measure (MBM) such as the EU ETS may provide financial incentives to shipping operators to reconfigure their networks and avoid voyages inside the European Economic Area (EEA). This paper…

Vessel estimated time of arrival prediction system based on a path-finding algorithm

Kikun Park, Sunghyun Sim, Hyerim Bae · 1 Jan 2021

Port operation efficiency has grown in importance as container volumes and vessel sizes have increased. For improved port operations efficiency, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of sea-going vessels must be accurately predicted. In this paper, an AIS data-driven method- ology is proposed for the estimation of vessel ETA at ports. For ETA prediction, we…
