Abstract

This thesis describes the process of selecting different greenhouse gas emission reduction technologies for the application on a redesign of a multi-purpose heavy-lift vessel. Only technologies were considered which did not negatively influence the operability or arrangement of the redesign. The best performing combination of technologies was identified using performance indicators which measured the economic and GHG emission reduction performance. The best performing combination of GHG emission reduction technologies results in an emission reduction potential of 20.6% compared to the currently operated vessel. It is concluded from this study that when only considering technologies on a redesign of a multi-purpose heavy-lift vessel which do not negatively influence the operability or arrangement, the IMO GHG emission reduction goals cannot be met.
