Analysis of energy efficiency and fuel consumption on Russian sea-going ships (2019 — 2024)
EDN: YYPHHE
Abstract
The article analyzes the consumption of various types of marine fuel on Russian ships in 2019 — 2024 according to data from Russian shipowners submitted to IMO. The data obtained are compared with figures on the consumption of various types of fuel taken from IMO reports on the consumption of the global fleet. Data on the use of alternative fuels on marine vessels with a gross tonnage of 5,000 and more are presented. The comparison of the operational energy efficiency index CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) of Russian ships and ships of the world fleet is carried out. Conclusions are drawn about a minor increase in LNG consumption, for which further growth requires the development of bunkering infrastructure in ports. The purpose of this article is to compare the energy efficiency indicators of Russian vessels with the energy efficiency indicators of the global fleet.
