Transformation Conventional Fishing Vessels 30 GT to Hybrid (Diesel-PV) System to Reduce Fuel Oil Consumption and Exhaust Emissions

Abstract

The dependence of the fishermen on the use of fossil fuels is still very high at and has not decreased until now. The increased price of fuel and reduced availability of fossil fuels makes fishermen struggling in their fishing activities. IMO (International Maritime Organization) noted that around 277 × 106 of fuel are consumed by ships with fossil fuels. According to an emission study conducted by IMO in 2012, 961 × 106 of CO2 accounting for 2.5 % of total global emissions. This study aims to reduce exhaust emissions by vessel from fossil fuels by making the ship into a hybrid (Diesel-Pv). By making the ship a hybrid with solar panels, it will save fuel consumption. The trozzi method approach is used to evaluate the exhaust emissions. The results obtained from changing the configuration to a hybrid, the emission that is issued can be reduced by around 57 % and save the fuel 19.6 %.
