Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of the hull of a high-speed craft

Abstract: A comparative Life Cycle Assessment is performed for different structural material concepts on a 24-m-long high-speed patrol craft. The study is comparative and determines the differences in and sensitivities to environmental impact, especially in relation to the total impact of fuel burn for the different material concepts. The material concepts are aluminium and various composite combinations consisting of glass fibre and carbon fibre with vinyl ester resin both as single skins and as sandwich with a Divinyc… Show more

“…Regarding the use of LCA for small boats, researchers focused on comparing the environmental performance of various materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam, wood, and steel of superstructure; 42 steel superstructure and sandwich material superstructure; 43 glass-reinforced plastic with hand lay-up and vacuum infusion techniques; 44 African wood, local wood (in France), composite, and aluminum in France context; 45 aluminum and various composite combinations; 46 and developing material selection strategies. 47 Two main points could be emphasized here: (a) Each material has its own end of life plan and (b) different lightship weights lead to differences in fuel consumption.…”

“…29 Regarding commercial LCA software applications, GaBi and SimaPro were ultizied in some studies. 4,[26][27][28][31][32][33] Several latest LCA-ship studies were carried out by researchers from UK and Italia. For instance, the authors 33 combined the LCA method with Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Energy Efficiency Operation Index (EEOI) and pointed out that LCA could be a complementary utility in shipping energy efficiency.…”

“…16 In a life cycle approach, hull material reuse could reduce carbon dioxide emissions in comparison with Business as Usual. 17 In yacht industry, the LCA method was also applied in the studies composed by Pommier et al, 18 Burman et al 19 and Cucinotta et al 20 Several researchers have used the LCA method to conduct the emission analysis in ship operation and end of life. The environmental impacts of alternative fuels have been comparatively assessed.…”
