Closing Summary from Chair

On November 7, 2023, the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering organized and held a public webinar intending to discuss the current challenges and advances for eco-friendly and energy-efficient modern ships. The team speakers used this opportunity to share their experience and research activities, exchanging ideas and project results with the webinar attendees.

Professor Yordan Garbatov, from the Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC) at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, chaired the webinar and discussed some fundamental aspects of “Economic impact of air pollution generated by ships in operation. Professor Peilin Zhou from Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK, discussed and introduced some project results related to “Research and innovation on alternative fuels for marine zero carbon emission, where Dr Petar Georgiev, from the Technical University of Varna, Bulgaria, presented the new trends in “Environmental requirements for energy efficiency for ships in operation” and Dr Hossein Ghaemi from the Gdansk University of Technology, Poland, presented and discussed different applications on “Methods and challenges for ship energy efficiency”.

At the end of the webinar, some discussions on the current challenges and innovations in alternative fuels for marine zero carbon emission and methods for ship energy efficiency were discussed.
