    The document discusses reducing carbon emissions from shipping through the use of renewable energy technologies. It proposes fitting ships with flexible solar panels and rotor sails to harness energy from the sun and wind. This could potentially cut fuel use and costs in half while meeting new emissions regulations. Additional technologies like onboard exercise equipment and waste heat recovery could generate supplementary electricity for lighting and other vessel needs. Adopting these green solutions would help create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly shipping industry.

    Abstract-

    Sustainable shipping is recognized as one of the biggest challenges of the 21 st


    century. It is accepted that whilst shipping is relatively safer and cleaner in
    comparison with other transport methods, the industry does have a significant
    impact on the environment. Marine Pollution has been the leading issue with the
    shipping industry since a decade. The International Maritime Organization (IMO)
    estimates that carbon dioxide emissions from shipping were equal to 2.2% of the
    global human-made emissions in 2012 and expects them to rise 50 to 250 percent
    by 2050 if no action is taken.

    Therefore, we have introspected an idea which includes the main cause of such
    high levels of carbon emission from merchant vessels is the use of Bunker Fuel in
    their propulsion engines. Substituting half the fuel required to run a ship by the use
    of rotor sails to get energy from the wind and solar panels fit for marine
    environment to get energy from the sun will help curtail the carbon emissions from
    a merchant vessel. The new pollution rules by International Maritime Organization
    (IMO) that will come into effect by the end of 2020 will require shipping
    companies to reduce the Sulphur contents of their fuel which would come at a
    severe cost. The use of rotor sails along with flexible solar panels onboard
    merchant vessels will help curb the carbon emissions. The wind speed in normal
    weather in a strong breeze at sea is 19-24 miles/hour which can result in maximum
    power generation by wind generators which are generally rated from 1-3 kW.
    Furthermore this acts as a fail-safe mechanism for the flexible solar panels during
    cloudy and windy days, it substitutes the power required by the vessel from the
    solar panels in such situations.

    The temperatures are generally high around 43-45 degrees in a well ventilated
    engine room from around 100 degrees of actual temperature. The rest of the heat
    generated is channeled to the surrounding through the exhausts; instead of
    dumping this heat to the atmosphere we can reduce the pollution from it by
    channelizing it for steam formation, to aid in the working of boilers onboard
    vessels. Using the age old process of converting mechanical work to electrical
    energy, installing energy efficient cycles onboard ships for crew to paddle and
    generate energy from the mechanical work done and further storing that energy in
    batteries can aid in the internal lighting systems on the ship instead of the power
    from diesel generators and hence result in cutting costs of maintaining electricity in
    cabins and other areas of residence onboard.

    It combines the advantages such as providing energy, offsetting potential impacts


    of global climate change, environmental protection, use of renewable energy,
    increase of stability of energy systems and cutting down of SOx and Carbon
    emissions. This will help bring on a new era of green ships that are environment
    friendly as well as being equally efficient in transporting cargo which can result in
    preservation of marine life and hence build a greener earth. Therefore, we
    emphasize that promotion of green shipping offers a powerful tool to provide
    opportunities and incentive schemes for policy makers to put a GREEN BEACON
    at the horizon of 21st century shipping!
