Impactos econômicos, ambientais e operacionais em sistemas slow steaming e motores com injeção eletrônica

Abstract

With the crisis in the oil sector and the large increase in the price of marine fuel over the last few years, major shipowners have chosen to seek solutions that resulted in economic feasibility of fuel consumption, with no losses with maintenance and income of engines, as well as, customer service with delivery of your cargo, this need, began operating their ships with reduced and consequent engine part-load speed. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of engines with this reduced speed, gave up using the system called SLOW STEAMING, checking their economic and environmental impacts by vessels operating in the area of the Brazilian cabotage. It can be said that the more fuel used, the more CO 2 emitted. Note that if this need, vessels began to be manufactured with reduced sizes of engines and propulsion systems and already designed to operate at slower speeds, allowing further reduction in the size of the vessel and cargo spaces and increasing fuel economy, always aiming to profitability. Seeking to improve the economic performance of ships in these difficult times due to high Bunker prices (fuel) and low freight rates, create greater emphasis on environmental considerations do not affect the operation of engines and their maintenance, System Slow Steaming and Diesel Engines Eletronics Injectrion System are increasingly present in the marine environment.
