Abstract
The motivational factors such as IMO regulations, Economic and Business drivers have led the maritime industry to become (more) energy efficient in the way ships are designed, as well as in the way seagoing vessels are operated and maintained. Maritime energy management is accepted at IMO and within the wider maritime community to be the main mechanism to serve the purpose of reducing GHGs and thereby increasing energy efficiency. This introductory chapter provides an overview of the fundamentals of maritime energy management discipline: from motivation to basic definitions to technical/operational measures to barriers to trade-off and so on. The Editors believe that this book will position itself as a pioneering work to familiarize the reader with trends in the maritime energy management field as well as finding solutions to overcome the related challenges.
