Abstract

One of the most
important actors of maritime transport is cargo ships where cargo is
transported. Nowadays, the expansion of the maritime trade volume with
increasing acceleration, the increase in the size and quantity of ships in the world’s
merchant navy fleet cause transportation costs to decrease per ton while to
bring some negative effects such as air pollution. The major cause of
ship-source air pollution is the conventional fuel used in propulsion systems.
As of 2006, serious steps are being taken in the context of air pollution
prevention measures that have been on the agenda in the sector on a global
scale. In this study, recent academic literature conducted on this subject
reviewed in recent years, renewable energy and other fuel types that can be
used in efficiency equivalent to conventional fuel were evaluated. As a result
of this thematic review, although the ship projects carried out with renewable
energy in the project phase are exciting, the most powerful alternative in the
short term seems liquefied natural gas (LNG) which is not accepted as renewable
but found to be successful in terms of emissions. It can be used in ships with
tonnage nearby coastal voyages, while in the offshore vessels which constitute
the main emission problem; renewable energy is evaluated within the scope of
additional measures that increase efficiency in the short term. In addition, as
a fuel alternative, hydrogen is a candidate for future ship fuel in the medium
and long term.
