Abstract

One of the methods adopted in ship operations to conserve energy usage and decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is Slow Steaming. To investigate its impact on decarbonization, a case study was conducted on a Container Ship with a deadweight of approximately 5539 tons. The study involved calculating the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) by estimating ship resistance through an empirical approach to determine the required main engine power. The EEDI was then derived based on the ship's power, capacity, and its speed. The study's results indicate that the implementation of slow steaming can lead to a substantial reduction of GHG from ships.
