Abstract
Amendments have been made to the MARPOL Annex VI Regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships, and energy efficiency regulations for ships have made mandatory the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships. Further energy-saving improvements will be required for ships.
An induction type power turbine generator system which focused on high energy-saving performance and easy operation has been developed and applied in a 97,000DWT bulk carrier by Japan Marine United Corporation. This report describes the system and presents the confirmation results on the system’s performance and function in sea trials and during its maiden voyage.
