    With the green and low carbon transformation of the shipping industry, the importance of the low carbon fuel is gradually emerging. As there is no carbon dioxide emission from ammonia and hydrogen combustion, ammonia and hydrogen are regarded as the promising zero-carbon fuels for shipping. The total cost of the ownership (TCO) models of the ammonia and hydrogen powered ship and the traditional fuel powered ship are established to quantitatively compare the relevant economy and clarify the main influencing factors. The results show that the fuel price is the main factor affecting the economy of ships. The TCO of the ammonia and hydrogen powered ships is about twice that of the traditional fuel powered ships under the current fuel price. The low energy density of the alternative fuels is the main reason that causes this difference. The cost of the alternative fuels will be an important factor in the low carbon transformation of shipping. And the cost reduction of the alternative fuels deserves attention.

    As one of the three major transportation systems, ocean shipping has the advantages of low transportation cost, large transport capacity and high safety. However, NOX and SOX in marine engine emission also cause serious air pollution, demanding urgent control. This paper summarizes the current control technologies of NOX and SOX in marine engine emission at home and abroad, and introduces the working principle, advantages and disadvantages of each technology. It is believed that the integrated technology of desulfurization and denitration based on the exhaust gas treatment system is more suitable for refitting old ships due to less modification to the ships. However, the new energy green ship technology based on alternative fuels and fuel cells is the most ideal solution for the control of ship pollutants and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

    Marine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is an efficient NO X removal technology, which has been widely applied in shipbuilding industry. However, the marine SCR technology also needs to be adjusted with the continuous improvement of the environmental requirements and the changes in marine energy structure. Nowadays, most marine SCR technology uses Urea-SCR technology, which is greatly affected by impurities in the marine fuel oils and the temperature of the exhaust. The high level of sulfur and alkali metals in the marine fuel oils has significant toxicity on catalysts, limiting the use of marine SCR. The diesel engine that mainly used on ships determines the range of the temperature change of the exhaust, which finally affects the denitrification of the exhaust gas through the influence on the effect of urea hydrolysis to produce ammonia, the layout of the SCR rectors and the catalyst activity. The above situation indicates that the design of an LP-SCR system with exhaust gas heating will be an important direction of the design of the SCR for the ships using marine fuel oils as fuel. It is critical to find safe source or method of supplying ammonia with high production efficiency and precise control for the development of marine SCR systems. Improving the fuel quality and reducing the toxicity effect in the smoke can provide a foundation for the research and development of new low-temperature and anti-toxic catalysts. The low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels become a global trend due to carbon neutrality, resulting in different exhaust emissions after combustion and then the change of SCR control technology. The zero-carbon and low-carbon fuels have single and reducible composition, and have the potential to be SCR reducing agents. The integrated processing SCR technology that uses the fuels itself for NO X removal will become an important direction for the development of marine SCR under the goal of carbon neutrality.

    A ship will be subjected to the comprehensive effect of dynamic load, static load and sudden load (such as collision load) during the operation, resulting in the extremely complicated force distribution of the saddle of the LNG fuel tank. The determination of the force distribution of the saddle is therefore critical for the design and installation of the saddle of the LNG fuel tank. A calculation method for the saddle load superposition has been proposed by studying of the force between the C-type independent fuel tank and the saddle for the dual fuel ships, combing of IGF rules and the "Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk" of CCS. This method solves the design problem of the saddle and the surrounding structure. The key points for installation are given to provide technical references for the design and the installation of this type of spherical tank's saddle.

    This article reviews the world economy, shipping and shipbuilding markets in 2020, and prospects the markets in 2021. The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic swept the world in 2020, and the global economy showed negative growth as a whole, resulting in the widely different shipping market segments. Except for the hot container transportation market at the end of the year, other markets were all downward. The overall delivery of the new ships has fallen sharply with approximately 31% decrease year-on-year. There was a large-scale cancellation of orders in the market, and only the offshore engineering market was basically good. Affected by the COVID-19, the new shipbuilding market declined about 11% year-on-year. And the bulk carrier was the only ship type with increased delivery in 2020. In 2021, the world economy is expected to rebound sharply year-on-year, the demand of the shipping market will be stronger than its supply, and the overall market situation will be better than that in 2020. Considering the short-term impact of the COVID-19, it is expected that the world shipping market will gradually become rational. The new ship orders of main ship types are steadily recovering in the long-term equilibrium direction, while green and intelligence are still the general direction in future.

    The shipping industry, as a major emitter of greenhouse gases, has increasingly highlighted the urgency of carbon reduction. A series of mandatory policies and regulations on carbon emissions in the international shipping industry have gradually entered into the mandatory implementation stage in order to reduce carbon emissions in the shipping industry. The shipping industry is therefore facing enormous pressure on carbon reduction. The current study reviews and summarizes the shipping carbon emission policies and regulations issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and compares the feasibility and applicability of various carbon reduction technologies in the shipping industry from both policy and technical aspects. The carbon capture technology is a direct and effective technology for the current shipping industry to address the carbon emission regulations. Based on the state-of-art of the carbon capture technology for ship exhaust gas, the challenges faced by the ocean-going ships in using carbon capture technology are analyzed from the technical requirements, operating costs and energy consumption, combined with the operation characteristics and exhaust emission characteristics of the ocean-going ships. The suggestions and measures are provided for appropriate marine carbon capture technology. The development direction of the carbon capture technology for the exhaust emissions of the ocean-going vessels is prospected based on the historical data. This study can provide references for the formulation of the carbon emission policies for China's shipping industry and the development and application of the ship carbon reduction technologies.

    Propeller is the core component of a ship. The performance of the propeller of an icebreaker is directly related to the speed/power performance, ice-breaking performance, vibration and noise performance and safe navigation performance of the whole ship. The design of the ice class propeller is therefore the key stage during the design of the icebreaker. It is necessary to ensure that the performance of the propeller can meet the design requirements. Different from the conventional propeller that operates in the open waters, the ice class propeller operates in the ice waters. The impact of the ice on the propeller should be considered during the design of the ice class propeller. However, there is little experience of the ice class propeller design in China. The ice class propeller design process (IPDP) has been established based on the analysis of the characteristics of the ice class propeller in the current study. The design results and model test results of the ice class propeller of a PC2 heavy icebreaker are presented. The results show that the design process of the ice class propeller is different from that of the conventional propeller with special focuses on the iterative design of the propeller parameters and hull parameters, due to the heavy load and multi-working conditions of the ice class propeller. It is necessary to verify not only the speed/power performance and vibration performance in the open waters, but also the speed/power performance and propeller strength performance in the ice regions. A detachable fixed pitch propeller is designed for the high ice class propeller to facilitate the repair and replacement of one single blade.

    Affected by factors such as monetary policy, geopolitical conflicts and the ongoing COVID-19, the macro-economy in 2022 showed a weakening trend after a brief economic recovery in 2021, and the pattern of maritime trade developed towards regionalization. As a result, the new shipbuilding market in 2022 showed an overall downward trend, with a year-on-year decline of 30.6%. Container ships, bulk carriers, oil tankers and offshore engineering vessels all showed downward trends, among them oil tankers showed the highest decline of 72.0%.Meanwhile, LNG carriers and Ro-Ro ships showed an upward trend, with an increase of 88.0% and 135.1%, respectively. Limited by the labor market and capacity adjustment of major shipbuilding domestic industries such as China and South Korea, the completion of shipbuilding in 2022 fell by 6.9% year-on-year. The orders at hand also decreased in 2022 with a decline of 7.5% year-on-year. Under the influence of environmental protection regulations, green fuel ships have developed rapidly, accounting for 44.5% of new ship orders, which becomes an important competitive area for shipbuilding countries. The global economic growth will continue to decline in 2023, which is expected to have a negative impact on the ship market. However, the high value-added ships such as LNG ships and green ships will continue to be popular. The global ship products will accelerate the development towards green and intelligent.

    The shipping economy is developing with the continuous expansion of the world trade. The number of merchant ships has been increasing, especially the demand for bulk cargoes, such as oil and ore, has increased sharply. Ships tend to be large-scale. The emergence of ultra-large oil tankers and ultra-large ore ships not only facilitates the maritime transportation, but also increases the risk of maritime transportation. Once an accident occurs, it will cause huge economic losses and immeasurable marine environment pollution. The ship turning is introduced based on the Nomoto mathematical model. The MATLAB simulation of the ship turning test under the certain marine environment interference has been carried out for the teaching practice ship Yukun of Dalian Maritime University, and the simulation curve has been analyzed. At the same time, the speed drop during the ship turning is studied. By taking the speed drop estimation formula that was proposed by Li Zongbo as an example, a 300 000 tonnage oil tanker has been examined to simulate the experimental results of Li Zongbo and others with MATLAB based on the Nomoto mathematical model. The applicability of the speed drop estimation formula to large ships is verified by comparing the simulated results with the actual speed in the turning motion. Finally, it is summarized to present some shortcomings in the current study.

Since the United Nation launched the action on Climate Change, the international maritime community has been seeking a fundamental solution to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction through the combination of technology, operation and market. With the continuous enriching of the topics on the marine pollution prevention, the application of new technologies driven by the legislation is promoting the gradually developed “green solutions” for whole-ship solutions. The rapid changes in product concepts and methods are also increasingly affecting the whole process of the ship design, manufacturing and operation, extending to the supply chain management in the perspective of the full life cycle of carbon footprint. The current study aims to analyze and summarize the key points of GHG emission reduction in maritime legislation, industry technological innovation, important hot issues and several major factors affecting the future development of the industry in the past decade. Focusing on the key issue of alternative marine fuel transition, the directions, key points and strategies of the industry to adapt to green and low-carbon are proposed from the perspective of industrial competition and technological development.

    The accelerated melting Arctic Sea ice has increased the availability of the Arctic shipping lane. As a major maritime and trading country, China can make full use of the Arctic shipping lane to alleviate the “Malacca dilemma” of the maritime transportation and ensure the transportation safety of Chinese strategic materials. The Arctic shipping lane cannot be opened without the support of polar icebreakers. The pod propulsion system that is the key equipment of modern polar icebreakers can give full play to the ice-breaking ability of icebreakers. Under the current international situation, the construction of polar icebreakers in China demands independent development of the ice-class pod propulsion system for the polar icebreakers. The current study introduces the development and current situation of the pod propulsion. It analyzes the characteristics of the ice-class pod propulsion system, summarizes the key technologies for the development of the ice-class pod propulsion system, and presents the development trend of the ice-class pod propulsion system. It is found that the ice-class pod propulsion system has higher technical threshold than the non-ice pods due to the characteristics of complex operating conditions, variable ice loads, high torque overloads, and fast dynamic response of revolution speed. Throughout the development of the pods, it is suggested to be led by professional electric companies, combine the advanced resources in the industry to break through the key technologies, and launch products with demonstration and verification as soon as possible, in order to support the opening of China’s Arctic shipping lane.

    Under the background of global warming and rapid reduction of the Arctic sea ice, polar sea ice forecasting is playing an increasingly important role. Improving the ability of polar sea ice forecasting is an important guarantee for polar ship navigation, polar energy development and protection. In recent years, some countries have developed and established polar sea ice forecasting systems, and the operational forecasting of polar sea ice has advanced substantially. By developing, testing and verifying the numerical solution of sea ice dynamics and thermodynamics, the model predictions are increasingly close to the observed values, so as to achieve the goal of flexible and powerful sea ice simulation and prediction. Aimed at timely and accurate polar sea ice forecasts for Chinese National Arctic/Antarctic Research Expedition and Arctic commercial navigation, the operational polar sea ice forecasting systems in the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center of China assimilate the satellite-observed near-real-time sea ice concentration, sea ice thickness and sea surface temperature data on a daily basis, with a capacity of coordinated adjustments of relative tracers and momentum at the ice-ocean interface. This paper briefly introduces state-of-the-art operational polar sea ice forecasting systems in the world, and prospects the potential difficulties and problems in developing sea ice numerical forecasting skill in the future.

    Polar heavy icebreaker is the key supporting equipment for polar merchant shipping, rescue support, scientific investigation and resource exploitation. The polar heavy breaker deserves special consideration in the application of high-strength steel and other special materials, the structural safety assessment under ice load and the hull structural layout, due to the high ice load compared with the medium and low ice class polar ships/icebreakers. The previous structural design experience for medium and low ice class polar ships cannot be arbitrarily applied to the polar heavy icebreaker. The structural design and evaluating experience of a PC2 polar heavy icebreaker that was developed by Marine Design & Research Institute of China (MARIC) are summarized. It focuses on the application of high strength steel for the ice belt structure, the application requirements and characteristics of composite steel plate for the ice belt outer plate, the impact of the non-linear evaluation technology on the ice belt scantlings, and the distribution of the ice-induced shear/bending moment and its influence on the structure in non-ice-belt regions, such as the inner platform of the main ship and the side hull of the bridge. It presents the structural design characteristics of the polar heavy icebreaker and the main differences between the polar heavy icebreaker and the medium and low ice class polar ships/icebreakers in terms of the overall structural layout and the design and evaluation of the ice belt structure. With the increase of the ice class, it is believed that the ice load not only affects the outer plate and its attached components in the ice belt region, but also has significant impact on the material selection of the ice belt structure and the overall structural layout and design of the whole ship.
