Abstract

Pollution caused by ships is a great threat to the environment nowadays. This article is about methods of reducing pollution caused by shipping industry. By reading the article the reader will discover an calculation of how much some green energy sources like modern Flettner rotor and Flettner balloon, which are using wind renewable energy, together with an electrical engine can reduce pollution for a route during ocean passage and how much are the costs of installation, of green energy resources system and the investment mitigation time. This article major points are: calculation of the fuel consumption for a container ship on a route during ocean passage, calculation of the pollution made by the ship if he uses fossil fuel and calculation of pollution if the ship is using green energy resources and an electrical motor, costs of the investment for transforming a fossil fuel eating container ship into a green one during ocean passage.
