Investigation of the New Type City Lines Passenger Ship in terms of Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency in ships is a practice that purposes to reduce CO2 gas emissions and reduce worldwide environmental pollution by using less fossil oils, less greenhouse gas releases. This practice requires technical measures to be taken on new ships and new systems (machines, propellers, etc.) in order to make new ships more energy efficient. In this study, one of the newly built passenger ship that used in transportation in the Istanbul Strait was analyzed in terms of energy efficiency performance, the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) was calculated and the applicable measures to reduce CO2 exhaust gas emissions were presented. In the calculations, it was investigated whether the ship meets the energy efficiency criteria as planned. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the ship is an energy efficient ship and complies with IMO standards. Measures were specified to increase the ship’s energy efficiency.
