Abstract:

 The globalizing world naturally causes an increase in transportation activities. Reasons such as technological developments, increasing demands and globalization bring acceleration in transportation and production activities. With the increase in the use of vehicles and machinery, there is an increase in the damage to the environment, especially due to the use of fossil fuels. The fact that the damage to the environment reaches irreparable levels necessitates taking precautions. Fossil fuels are the main cause of emissions from ships in maritime transport. Reducing the cruising speed of the ship, using the fuel type that causes less emission, increasing energy efficiency, and making a weather-dependent cruise plan are the solutions to reduce emissions. In this study, the CO2 emissions of 30 ships are calculated with the EEOI method and compared with the fuel types used in the ships. In the study, it is seen that the preferred fuel type for ships is directly related to carbon emissions.

 Küreselleşen dünya taşımacılık faaliyetlerinin de doğal olarak artmasına neden olmaktadır. Teknolojik gelişmeler, taleplerin artması, küreselleşme gibi nedenler taşımacılık ve üretim faaliyetlerinde hızlanmayı beraberinde getirmektedir. Araç ve makine kullanımının artışıyla beraber özellikle fosil yakıt kullanımından dolayı çevreye verilen zararda da artış görülmektedir. Çevreye verilen zararların telafi edilemeyecek boyutlara ulaşması önlem alınmasını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Denizyolu taşımacılığında gemilerden kaynaklanan emisyonların da ana sebebi fosil yakıtlardır. Geminin seyir hızının düşürülmesi, daha az emisyona sebep olan yakıt türünün kullanılması, enerji verimliliğinin arttırılması, hava durumuna bağlı seyir planının yapılması emisyonların azaltılması için yapılan çözüm önerileridir. Bu çalışmada 30 geminin CO2 salınımı EEOI yöntemi ile hesaplanarak gemilerde kullanılan yakıt türleriyle karşılaştırılmaları yapılmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmada gemiler için tercih edilen yakıt türünün doğrudan karbon salınımı ile ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir.
