Synopsis
Some issues of increasing the energy efficiency of ships by improving navigation methods
The aim of this study is analyzing possible risks connected to the energy efficiency of the ship, specifically at the time of ship’s maneuvering in the restricted waters on the way to the port and during mooring operations. The situation in the world’s merchant fleet significantly changed during recent years – speed of the ships and their sizes significantly increased, many new technologies appeared. So, another aim of the research is to learn new risks, imposed in the modern shipping. Also, the aim was to search connection of energy efficiency risks to the other aspects of the ship’s safety. Nowadays, there are some new safety aspects appeared: cybersecurity, safety of new fuels (which were not used before on-board ships), problems of the crew competency in new technologies and new operations, use of autonomous tugs, possibility of war risks, use of artificial intelligence. These new aspects should be taken into account, as well as the probability of sudden changes in the situation, like weather change, current effect, breakdown of the equipment or traditional human error. It is analyzed also several methods of the risk’s calculation, including adding of the environmental condition and human element to the traditional formula of the risk calculation. All risk parameters were grouped into ten groups, possible methods of the risk assessment for each parameter were learned. Also – use of the new digital technologies is reflected, the best way of avoiding human error seems to be computer-based risk assessment, which would be more effective if independent server or special platform is used. Such platform to be belonged to insurance company, per example. The best effectiveness of such electronic system expected to be achieved by using round-circle risk assessment, which includes calculation of risks of all participants of operation and general risk assessment of the whole process. The particular attention is given to the new risk parameters, recently imposed into the maritime industry and to the new opportunities of the risk management, given to us by the modern technologies, in particular IT technologies and artificial intelligence.
