This document has been prepared to advise vessel owners and charterers about the fuel sulphur reduction options and implications regarding to the introduction of 0.10% m/m sulphur distillate in the ECA's from 1 January 2015. There are also general sections to provide information on legislation and information …

This research has been conducted to analyze the current water production process and see if improvements in terms of energy efficiency is possible by using the optimal configuration for different sailing profiles. Water consumption on cruise vessel is higher than on non-passenger vessels. Freshwater …

On board the vessels of Holland America Line a lot of attention is drawn to prevent the loss of energy. On board energy is produced in several ways by fuel. Therefor fuel is the biggest expense of a cruise ship. On board steam is used for heating purposes. The type of steam used for these heating purposes …

Cruise ship fires are not uncommon. Fire on board of the cruise ships is one of the most dangerous accident that can occur at any moment. The damage caused by fire is huge and can negatively affect the company’s reputation. There is a product on the market that can, according to the manufacturers, detect …

INTRALOG is a project, to better use of materials, there by leading to improvements for People (better safety, lower physical work load), Planet (lower emissions and energy/ fuel con started September 2015, in which Automated Guided Truck Applications will be developed. Automated systems typically perform …

During the Annual LNG Summit in Cannes prof. dr. ir. J. Dam. presented his work on LNG fuel containment systems for transport. Topics range form education and research on LNG to newly developed materials for LNG storage

On the 24th of august a presentation was given as part of a funding campaign for a CTA research-project. Prof. dr. ir J. Dam talked about aviaton-specific topics in regard to fuels, economics and inviromental impact and of course; the possibilities for a LNG fuel-system.

For long flights, the cruise is the longest phase and where the largest amount of fuel is consumed. An in-cruise optimization method has been implemented to calculate the optimal trajectory that reduces the flight cost. A three-dimensional grid has been created, coupling lateral navigation and vertical …
