Abstract

The reduction of the fuel consumption and the exhaust gases emission is always significant to improve the ship energy efficiency management in the field of shipping transportation industry. The study of the novelty numerical method has been addressed in this research to decrease the fuel consumption of diesel engine and restrict the exhaust gases emission from the ship operational activities. This numerical method was supported by Matlab simulation environment through the curve fitting tool. The internal factors related to the energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI) would be investigated like the probability samples by the developing Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method. The central limit theorem of the numerical simulation method has been employed into the novelty method. The determination of the optimal values has also been collected from this proposed method. In particular, the heavy fuel oil is 1450 (Tons), the diesel oil is 13 (Tons), the mass of cargo carried is 130,000 (Tons), and the distance traveled is 7,500 (Nautical Miles) for the target ship. When we compared the fuel consumption value between the results collected from the novelty simulation method and the experimental data then the reduction of the fuel consumption is approximately 550 (Tons) corresponding to save 27.5% from the novelty numerical simulation method. Additionally, the future prediction trends for EEOI have also been approached with the high determination coefficient (R2) 0.99 and 0.9995, respectively. The EEOI index has also been dropped down 5.10−6 compared with the calculated value from the experimental data. So, this one was meaningful to reduce the exhaust gases emission through the reduction of the fuel consumption on ship. The research results will help the ship operators and ship owners to decrease the fuel consumption in the field of ship energy efficiency management.
