Ships’ energy efficiency management: organizational and economic aspect

Abstract

Maritime transport plays an important role in economic development of society, because it carries about 85% of goods, but it consumes a significant amount of fuel resources, which has a serious impact on air pollution. Millions of tons of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, soot, heavy metal compounds and water vapor are released into atmosphere each year. These factors influence constant search for more effective methods to reduce toxicity of exhaust gases and develop organizational and economic conditions for fuel usage.
