This course focuses on maximizing a vessel’s fuel economy and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions through the optimized operation of main propulsion engines and auxiliary machinery. It aligns with strict international regulations like the IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and the Energy Efficiency Ship Index (EEXI), training marine engineers how to minimize energy waste without compromising safety or schedule. The curriculum covers practical strategies such as slow steaming optimization, waste heat recovery systems, variable frequency drives, and the precise monitoring of combustion parameters and hull fouling. Ultimately, it equips engineering officers with the technical knowledge to lower operational fuel costs and ensure their ship meets global environmental compliance targets.
