“…[29] focus on the energy efficiency effect of trim to reduce fuel consumption and increase energy saving by analyzing and monitoring the operation data obtained from ROPAX vessel. Gains of the hybrid propulsion system on the passenger ferry operated small inland waters are highlighted by [30] and a towing test is performed on a model created by scaling the passenger ferry. The resistances on the ferry are calculated and the power is estimated at the specified speeds by towing test.…”

Many improvements are performed in the maritime industry to ensure sustainability and energy efficiency. The use of hybrid propulsion systems (HPS) in marine vessels constitutes one of the developments in this field. In this study,both economic and environmental benefits are targeted. The study aims to reduce the high fuel consumption of the engine per unit power at low loads and minimization of emissions by sourcing them from main engine by HPS. Overcoming the limitations of Annex VI (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) of International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) are desired and the research hopes for a beneficial result on Energy Efficiency Measures such as Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI). A comprehensive study is accomplished on the hybrid propulsion system components and the keywords used in the literature review are revealed. Furthermore, the articles that have “efficiency”, “vessel”, “propulsion” and “marine” topics published in Web of Science (WOS) between 1975-2020 are examined and 44 studies are obtained. The studies that have been reached are analyzed and interests of them are collect under the 18 heading and the focal point of each study is highlighted in article. According to the results, the hybrid system provides low fuel consumption, minimizes emissions and costs, complies with the regulations of the International Maritime Organization, uses renewable energy sources, encourages the use of electric motors in addition to internal combustion engines, increases the efficiency of energy storage systems among other things. This article will be a significant resource for academicians, experts and companies on the Hybrid propulsion system in setting their focus. Keywords: Hybrid propulsion, Energy saving, Global warming.

“…Therefore, for the calculation of the propulsion power and energy demand, the efficiency of the screw operation was assumed to be 35% during acceleration and 25% during braking, when the screw operates in particularly unfavourable conditions. The efficiency values were set on the basis of typical propeller efficiency curves from hydro mechanical characteristics [9,[32][33][34].…”

“…The decision to build this very expensive unit was based on several reasons, for example, the idea of building a ship with virtually zero exhaust emissions. Today, when more and more importance is attached to environmental protection, advanced technologies related to electric and hybrid propulsion are becoming more and more popular [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Upon analysing various criteria, such as limiting emissions of harmful compounds, energy or fuel consumption, the volume and mass of the ship's engine room, the manoeuvrability of the unit, and the operating costs, the use of hybrid propulsion becomes more and more often justified [11].…”

Interest in hybrid propulsion systems that can be used on small vessels has increased significantly in recent years. They can replace inefficient and environmentally burdensome conventional systems based on diesel engines. Hybrid propulsion has many advantages such as high energy efficiency and virtually noiseless operation, and therefore it fits well with the current trends of “green shipping” and “zero emission”. The aim of the research conducted was to examine and analyse the varied energy demand of a small inland ferry with electric propulsion depending on the navigation strategy. The work included tests carried out on a model of the vessel. Conventional resistance tests involving towing the model at a constant speed proved to be of no use for the unit, which, during a short voyage, moves with variable speeds and manoeuvres. Therefore, atypical and unique tests were performed to determine the energy consumption during the acceleration of the unit and the parameters of navigation with the propulsion turned off. The work resulted in calculated forecasts of energy consumption by the ship depending on the adopted cruising style and a proposal of the most energy-efficient way to cross the shipping route connecting the two banks of the Motława River in the city of Gdańsk.

“…Reduced fuel consumption, air pollution and improved overall efficiency (considering specific waterway conditions) were investigated for merchant river vessels in [10]. Moreover, a high energy efficiency inland ferry concept was developed in [11], using hybrid propulsion. Similarly, the research in [12] explored hybrid propulsion as well, in addition to potential hull shape modification, to design a more energy efficient small inland passenger vessel.…”

Although the International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced the energy efficiency requirements for ships more than a decade ago, to date, inland navigation has not been affected by corresponding regulations at all. Therefore, inland waterway vessels are left with no mandatory requirements that could push their technology into more energy efficient design. Fortunately, there are certain pioneering attempts to define energy efficiency criteria for inland vessels. This paper tries to gather and provide a review of such methods. Moreover, a typical Danube cargo inland vessel’s data are used to evaluate their current energy efficiency levels with respect to provisional criteria. Consequently, two methods are found and used here. They are both based on IMO’s energy efficiency concept but modified for the inland waterway vessels. The methods delivered a significant difference in applicability and were difficult to compare. Moreover, shallow and deep-water effects are explored in the same regard but provided unsound conclusions. The final results displayed discrepancies in energy efficiency levels for the same vessels and so the methodology should be improved and harmonised, if it is to be introduced as mandatory for inland waterway vessels. The analysis provided a glimpse into the current condition of the traditional design of the Danube inland fleet, with respect to the emerging energy efficiency policies.
