“…At the same time, there is an increasing number of academic research in the areas of sustainability, decarbonization, and, most importantly, design methods, decision-making, and support (Trivyza et al, 2022;Mansouri, Lee, and Aluko, 2015). Most research on ship design is related to "complex ship design" that includes naval vessels, submarines, and specialist commercial vessels like cruise ships.…”

The maritime industry faces a critical challenge to decarbonize and meet the ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. This transition requires innovative ship design strategies to address the increasing complexity and multiplicity of technical solutions amidst dynamic regulatory, geopolitical, and market uncertainties. This paper examines the maritime decarbonization challenge's impact on ship design and decision-making under uncertainty, highlighting the necessity for collaboration between researchers and practitioners to tackle this emerging challenge. To navigate the uncertainty, stakeholders can integrate advanced design methods and decision-making processes considering the full lifecycle and fleet-level implications. This paper promotes taking a holistic approach that incorporates regulatory compliance, technological advancements, and commercial considerations, as well as a blend of methods to manage decision-making under uncertainty. Continued research in specific areas is essential to develop and refine frameworks that optimize design and operation for the industry's sustainable future.

“…In a broad sense, sustainability concerns the control of the adverse effects of human activities on the environment. 1 In the maritime industry, heretofore, the impact of vessels on the environment was considered just in terms of atmospheric pollutant formation from the prime movers (Trivyza et al, 2021), release of toxic compounds from hull coatings (Torres and De-la Torre, 2021), or importation of exotic biological species through ballast water (Lakshmi et al, 2021) and biofouling (Song et al, 2020). Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) was just recently categorised as a form of pollution (Vakili et al, 2020a) due to the substantial increase of noise pollution on oceans worldwide (Sezen et al, 2021b).…”

“…Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) has grown as a part of operations research, concerned with designing computational and mathematical tools for supporting the subjective evaluation of performance criteria by decision makers [23], and have been used as appropriate tools for decision-making, sustainability analysis in the energy sector [19,21,22,36,36]. Trivyza et al have published a comprehensive review of the range of decision support methods for sustainable ship energy systems [43]. Frangopoulos has published a review of three levels of optimization: synthesis, design, and operation for ship energy systems while highlighting the importance of these methods, and the need for further research in the area [10,11].…”

Techno-economic model-based design space exploration of ‘combined’ ship propulsion systems

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The architecture of a ship propulsion system, developed during early stages of the overall ship design process, has a very large impact on the overall design and performance of the ship. The design space exploration to arrive at the final ship propulsion architecture can be a rather complex process for high-performance 'combined' ship propulsion systems designed to achieve multiple, often conflicting, design objectives. This paper proposes a novel process for the process of design space exploration based on a model-based ‘Techno-economic & Environmental Risk Assessment’ (TERA) approach, executed using a hybrid ‘Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making’ (MCDM) procedure, to select a compromise solution from competing propulsion system architectures populating the design space. The process utilizes a combination of performance data generated from performance simulation of developed models, as well as comparative expert opinions-based metrics for information not available early in the ship design process for selection of a 'compromise solution'. The paper includes an illustrative example of application of the proposed process for design space exploration for a combined propulsion system architecture for a notional destroyer.
