N2 - Economic factors such as changing fuel costs and environmental issues such as emission of greenhouse gases, pollution, wash and noise, all ultimately lead to the need to minimise ship propulsive power. The problem of minimising power can be addressed at the design stage and during operation. The various requirements and needs that impact upon the current and future design and operation of ships are described. The main components of the powering process are reviewed. Individual components and power saving methods are identified which should enable improvements in the overall efficiency of propulsion to be made. Potential levels of savings in propulsive power at the design stage and during operation are described and discussed. Appropriate design methodologies and procedures, taking into account economic and environmental factors, are proposed for the design of future ships.
