Abstract
Global trade depends heavily on the shipping industry due to its capacity, connectivity and reliability. According to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), more than eighty percent of world goods trade by volume is carried by sea and handled by ports worldwide. Unfortunately, the functioning of the shipping industry is creating increased fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As a result, both environmental and economic concerns have increased demand for improved energy efficiency in shipping, via the application of appropriate energy efficiency measures.
In any case, chemical tankers transport large amounts of chemicals because most goods include petrochemical compounds. There are different types of inspections for chemical tankers performed by classification societies, flag states, port states and industries due to their disastrous impacts on human life and the environment. In this study, Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) inspections made by independent chemical cargo companies are analyzed; Turkish tanker companies’ SIRE inspection results between 2006 and 2016 provide the necessary data. Ship engine and steering compartments related deficiencies and their root causes are identified and analyzed statistically. Non-conformities and application of measures to the engine and steering compartments of the ship that affect ship energy consumption are discussed.
