Navigating Challenges In Reducing Carbon Footprint For Vessels
Regarding its carbon footprint count, the maritime industry has long been on the radar. With tighter carbon emission regulations, ship operators face growing challenges in meeting these requirements. Among other concerns is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and overall environmental impact. Implementing measures like EEXI improvement shipping has been a focal point for many in the industry. These strategies are for enhancing energy efficiency, but they come with challenges in a world where environmental concerns are intensifying. Environmental Challenges for Marine Vessels Marine vessels operate in harsh environments where challenges such as water friction, marine growth, and harsh weather conditions can significantly impact their efficiency. These external factors complicate reducing carbon emissions. For instance, friction between the vessel's hull and water increases drag, which leads to higher fuel consumption. Moreover, marine growth on the hull can increase drag even...
