Why use Marine Benchmark for Decarbonization & Electrification Studies
Data-driven analysis for vessel-level decarbonization, electrification and wind-assisted propulsion
The transition towards low- and zero-emission shipping requires precise identification of vessels and routes where electrification or alternative propulsion solutions are technically and economically viable.
Marine Benchmark provides data-driven analysis to identify and evaluate decarbonization opportunities at vessel and route level. By combining voyage data, operational patterns, port activity and energy demand profiles, we support stakeholders in assessing where electrification and alternative fuel solutions can be realistically implemented.
In addition, the integration of weather and oceanographic data enables detailed assessment of wind conditions and environmental exposure, supporting evaluation of wind-assisted propulsion technologies under real operating conditions.
All analysis is based on actual vessel behaviour and trading patterns, ensuring that proposed solutions are grounded in real-world operations.
Comprehensive Decarbonization & Electrification Studies
Comprehensive Decarbonization & Electrification Studies
Marine Benchmark supports complete studies in collaboration with leading consultancy firms, classification societies and industry stakeholders.
These studies typically include:
- Identification of electrification candidates - Detect vessels and ferry routes with operational patterns suitable for electrification or hybrid solutions.
- Route and operational analysis - Assess sailing distances, port frequency, turnaround times and operational profiles.
- Energy demand modelling - Estimate energy requirements based on real operational behaviour and vessel characteristics.
- Wind-assisted propulsion analysis - Evaluate the potential impact of wind-assisted technologies (e.g. rotor sails, wings) based on actual routes, wind conditions and vessel exposure.
- Environmental and weather-based modelling - Use historical weather and oceanographic data to assess how environmental conditions affect performance and technology potential.
- Infrastructure and charging feasibility - Evaluate port infrastructure requirements and charging or fuel supply feasibility.
- Stakeholder identification and engagement - Identify and support interaction with key stakeholders including operators, ports, authorities and energy providers.
- Environmental impact assessment - Quantify emissions reduction potential under different technology and fuel scenarios.
- Economic feasibility analysis - Assess investment needs, operational costs and expected returns, including technology-specific performance gains.
