Abstract

Maritime Energy Management (MEM) is (a) the study of energy flows such as supply, transformation, storage, production and consumption in the extensive maritime domain, which includes ships, ports, shipbuilding yards and ship-breaking activities, as well as (b) how this energy and its sources are optimised to manage consumption and reduce wastage in order to limit environmental and economic impacts of energy use.
