A guidebook has been published focusing specifically on supporting the implementation of energy efficiency technologies for ships. It was developed and produced by the Global Industry Alliance to Support Low Carbon Shipping (Low Carbon GIA) as part of the IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 project. The guide is aimed primarily at shipowners or ship operators.
In particular, the guide provides a simple but flexible methodology for selecting the right technology for achieving savings and efficiency. The said methodology is based on a set of eight evaluation criteria, i.e.: similarity, reliability, accuracy, overall and specific order size, repeat order, consistency and compatibility.
The methodology and the associated Excel-based tools were developed to be easy to use and do not require technical expertise.
