POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES DELIVERED BY WMU POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MARITIME ENERGY
Programme Content
Industry and governments around the world are engaged in the international effort to battle climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollutants while doing their best to achieve the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, there is a constant pressure towards cost-efficiency and market competitiveness. The Paris Agreement and new IMO regulations on air pollution along with IMO GHG strategy mean that a significant reduction in GHG emissions is necessary over the coming decades. The programme responds to these drivers in a very timely manner and equips maritime professionals with technical and socio-economicenvironmental knowledge relating to IMO’s regulations on air pollution and potential mitigation measures to achieve a sustainable, zero/low carbon and energy-efficient maritime future.

Introduces the historical environmental discourse around the maritime industry and the development of legal frameworks on maritime energy. It discusses various rationales for maritime energy management as well as the concept of sustainability in shipping. From a goal-based management perspective, a human factors approach is visited to discuss science-oriented solutions. The module examines the role of technology and innovation to facilitate forward-thinking decision-making and socio-cultural transition from mitigation to adaptation for a sustainable maritime transportation system.

Maritime Energy and Sustainable Development
Ships and Energy Efficiency Discusses the basics of Chapter 4 of MARPOL Annex VI including EEDI, SEEMP, DCS along with Market Based Measures and the latest developments on IMO’s GHG strategy. It focuses on energy efficient operation of ships as well as energy efficient ship designs. Ship resistance components (viscous, wave-making, air and appendage) are discussed as well as methods for their reduction. Increasing propeller/propulsion efficiency and improvement of propeller-hull interaction are examined from an energyefficiency perspective. Tutorials are provided to assess the impact of resistance and propulsion improvement methods on fuel consumption reduction.
