Abstract

Maritime transport, which makes up 90% of the world's transport, has improved its responsibilities in combating global climate change with its 2050 commitments within the scope of COP 26. In this context, ships are developing their studies on alternative solutions to reduce fossil fuel consumption. However, the institutional lack of energy management and sustainable energy efficiency for ships is an important problem. In this study, first of all, the energy management framework was developed, and the energy efficiency potential was evaluated by performing a gap analysis for a tanker ship. Basic indicators for the manageability of energy were defined and compared. While the energy efficiency potential was 10.17% in the study, the thermal performance average was found to be 36.48%. At the end of the study, the effect of energy management was evaluated, and suggestions were developed for sustainable energy management processes.
