Abstract

Modern operating conditions of container ships heighten the significance of regulating and optimizing energy efficiency on board. Moreover, energy efficiency is a key factor in fostering economic sustainability and environmental safety in container transportation. The article comprehensively explores the optimization of energy resource use on container ships, a crucial aspect for enhancing efficiency and ensuring environmental safety in the maritime transport sector. The article outlines key strategies and aspects that can be employed to optimize energy utilization in modern container ships. The article offers a comprehensive analysis of optimization in different areas, including energy rationalization and environmental initiatives like renewable energy and emissions reduction. The authors elucidate the methods and approaches that can be employed to attain these objectives, such as choosing high-performing machinery, creating the most efficient routes, and deploying energy management and monitoring systems. The article offers concrete guidelines for the practical execution of the concept by emphasizing the significance of work process improvement, monitoring system implementation, and continual integration of information systems. By taking these actions, container ships can increase their energy efficiency, lower their environmental impact, and enhance their profitability. The article is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers in the maritime industry focused on achieving energy efficiency and natural resource conservation. It offers a concise overview of strategies for optimization and provides practical recommendations for implementation, ultimately contributing to the development of a more sustainable and efficient maritime transportation system. The study's outcomes can enhance the utilization of energy resources in operational processes, leading to environmental safety and improved economic efficiency in maritime transportation.
