Abstract

The lifecycle of a ship is currently carbon intensive, with many mitigation methods focused primarily on a vessel's operational carbon emissions. However, there are significant emission reduction opportunities throughout the life cycle of a vessel. This paper investigates the through life emissions for an example hypothetical vessel; accounting for the various stages of the life cycle including build, operation, support, and disposal. Following review of the current emissions, mitigation strategies will be explored for the stages, predominantly focusing on emitted carbon but also on the ability to reduce embodied carbon throughout the life cycle.
