Marine transport is the nero of the international
trade where 80% of the world merchandise trade in
volume carried by sea . Although it is the most
important type of transport, there are negative
effects on the environment . These effects starting
from the shipbuilding throughout the service until
the ship breaking . Thus, protection of environment

processes so that he can play a significant role
to :
Minimize air emissions
Minimize use of hazardous materials and
environmental contaminates
Maximize use of recycled and recyclable
material
Minimize waste and scrap
Maximize use of rapidly renewable and regional
materials
15. 3.2) Design for Operational

possible to increase the ship efficiency
resulting less fuel consumption and
greenhouse emission . In addition to designing
friendly hull and compartments to prevent the
oil and noxious liquid pollution :
Engine Exhaust Gas should be minimum
CO2 Index (GHG Exhaust) must be lower
Care should be given to prevent Oil, Noxious

17. 3.3) Design for Breaking
Planning to recover materials in order to
maximize economic value and minimize
environmental impacts through
subsequent reuse, repair, remanufacture
and recycling, so, some principles should
be strictly followed to perform the this
operation :
18. Design for Breaking
Materials must be documented and methods
for deconstruction
Select materials using the precautionary
principle
Minimize or eliminate chemical connections
Preferring to use bolted, screwed and nailed
connections rather than welding
Separate mechanical, electrical and plumbing
systems
19. 4) TREND OF OPTIMIZING GREEN
SHIP BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
To optimize the marine design system , it
essential to focus on saving materials,
increasing work efficiency and decreasing cost.
For example :
By optimizing the hull lines the ship speed will
be increased, saving energy and improving the
economic efficiency.
The optimization of hull structure will increase
the deadweight and improve economic
efficiency.
20. Trend of optimizing green ship
building technology
The optimization of electric system design will
decrease the length of cables, decrease the
quantity of equipment and increase the quantity
of section prefabrication..
As long as we emphasize the concept of green
ship design, there will be many methods to be
applied to optimize design.
