Introductory Course on Energy Efficient Ship Operation

This course aims to provide answers to a series of questions such as: 

• How can ships contribute towards the reduction of GHG emissions and the mitigation of climate change? 
• How can fuel saving measures lower the GHG emissions and play an important role in limiting global temperature increase? 
• What are some of the practical actions which can be taken onboard to reduce fuel consumption? 
• What is the role of the International Maritime Organization and how is it addressing emissions from ships?

This course is divided into 2 modules: 

Greenhouse gases and energy efficiency in the maritime industry; and Practical ways of reducing energy use at sea.

Each module includes interactive lessons, resources for additional learning as well as a final summary.  For participants with limited internet access or time online, a PDF Learning Journal has been prepared and can be downloaded to allow for offline learning and come back to take the quiz online.  Each module takes on average 1 hour to complete.

Additional modules, covering detailed practical measures that can be taken by the Engine Department, Deck Department, onshore personnel/companies and ports, are currently under development and will be released in due course.
