simulator based study, Fuel Consumption, maneuvering, sea time experience

Saving energy and reducing carbon gas emissions simulation models are developed to estimate real performance of ships in the actual sea conditions to diminish air pollution. The simulator research team of CINEC Campus, Malabe, Sri Lanka, evaluates/discovers the best possible way to reduce the air pollution caused by the ships which arrive to Colombo harbor. As instruments this simulator based study utilizes the Technological Simulator 5000 Version 8.7.4530.147 and as the Engine Simulator, the Technological Simulator 5000 Version 8.7.4530.147 along with the Bridge Simulator: NT PRO 5000. Engine Types used included MAN B&W 6S60MC-C, two strokes, slow speed, turbocharged, reversible engine, MCR 18,420 BHP at 105 RPM and Fixed Pitch Propeller. The methodology consisted of a population of 05 seafarers: 01 Harbor Pilot, 01 Senior Master and 03 Chief Mates selected under purposive sampling procedures. Data collection included the number of engine movements, recorded rudder angles and fuel consumptions utilized by different operators. Analyzing the data, the findings state that the more sea time experience of the seafarers results in less number of movements to arrive to the berth. However, main engine movements are the dominant factors for reducing the fuel consumption during the period of maneuvering. Additionally, the time taken come to the berth is also proportional to the fuel consumption during that period. The findings conclude that if the vessel operator can come to the berth with less main engine and rudder movements and with a shorter period of time the fuel consumption undergoes reduction.
