Specifications and Fuel Consumption of Ferry, RORO Cargo Ship and Container Ship on Domestic Lines

Abstract

ABSTRACT: To enhance transport efficiency and usability of ship transportation is important, in order to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emission of domestic cargo transportation on long distance route. For obtaining basic information to consider the measures for ship transportation, we surveyed ship specifications and performances on routes of ferries, RORO cargo ships and container ships on domestic long distance routes through shipping companies. We calculated statistic indicators of ships and routes, and functions to explain fuel consumption of ferry, RORO cargo ship and container ship on domestic long distance route.
