Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper will prove that a monetary incentive approach to achieve energy conservation works. With the recent rise in energy costs because of the acts of oil producing foreign counties, this subject is very timely.The objective of U.S. Navy shipboard energy conservation is to make ships more fuel efficient to help stretch the fuel budget dollars as far as possible and also make ships more environmentally friendly. This goal has been the cornerstone of machinery and hull R&D and Fleet operational improvements. In support of this quest, the NAVSEA incentivized Energy Conservation (ENCON) program has been established, which focuses upon Fleet and ship operational improvements.This paper will provide brief discussions on the incentivized ENCON Program, program elements, and suggestions to institutionalize a similar program for ships operated by the Military Sealift Command, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, and National Oceano‐graphic Atmospheric Administration. A similar incentivized ENCON program can also be implemented for friendly nations' naval ships. It is also believed that commercial shipping companies can use the incentive concept to operate their ships more efficiently.
