碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 107 / The international bunker supply and demand market will be seriously influenced by the 2020 sulphur cap. In light of current development trends taking place within the refining and shipping industry, the marine bunker supply market will be rife with uncertainties in the near future. However, it’s foreseeable that additional fuel costs will inevitably have an impact on the bulk shipping industry.
This study aims to effectively improve ship energy efficiency in the process of ship operation, with a view to the specific business model and market environment of bulk shipping. The Quality Requirement Dimension, consisting of nine demand indexes, was constructed through literature reviews and expert interviews. A total of 30 widely-used relevant energy-saving service technologies, developed through relevant departments of ship operation, were integrated and evaluated. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was applied in the research process to assist decision-makers in examining resource allocation for energy efficiency indicators of bulk carriers. Also the method of Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (FQFD) was used to prioritize various ship energy efficiency improvement technologies, so as to provide decision-makers with comprehensive business strategies to improve ship energy efficiency, hoping to reduce the impact of fuel cost changes on bulk shipping.
After analysis and investigation, the main findings of this study are as follows,
1. During the time charter period, emphasis shall be placed on the maintenance of “Reduction of Ship Resistance” and “Reliability of Ship and Equipment”, so as to avoid claims or termination of the contract due to failure to meet the agreed fuel consumption and ship speed with the charterer, which may result in profit loss of the company.
2. Since the proportion of main engine fuel consumption increases with the size of the ship, the improvement of energy efficiency of large ships should focus on the maintenance of indicators related to main engine fuel consumption, such as “Reduction of Ship Resistance”, “Improvement of Propulsive Efficiency”, “Voyage Optimization” and so on, which can get twice the result with half the effort.
3. Ship managers are generally concerned about the quality of foreign crew dispatched through manning companies. The improvement of “Personnel Ability and Quality” has become an important subject for most shipping companies.
Key words: Bulk carrier, Ship energy efficiency, Importance-Performance Analysis, Fuzzy theory, Quality Function Deployment
