The impact of modern geographic information systems (GIS) on improving the energy efficiency of maritime transportation
Abstract
Background. Modern maritime transportation faces challenges related to the need for increased energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These issues have become particularly relevant in the context of global environmental policies and the tightening of international ship energy efficiency standards (EEDI, EEOI, CII). One of the promising solutions is the use of geographic information systems (GIS), which enable vessel route optimization, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize environmental impact. However, the extent of their impact on improving maritime transport energy efficiency requires further research.
The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of GIS technologies on improving the energy efficiency of maritime transportation and to assess their effects on fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Methods. The study examines key GIS technologies, including satellite monitoring, mapping, modeling, and data analysis, used for vessel route optimization. The methodological approach is based on experimental modeling, comparing three shipping scenarios: traditional routing, dynamic route optimization, and combined route and speed management using GIS. The analysis focuses on evaluating the impact of these approaches on fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and overall ship energy efficiency.
Results. The modeling results showed that the application of GIS can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20% and decrease CO₂ emissions by up to 21% compared to traditional navigation methods. Optimizing vessel routes and speeds based on GIS data contributes to lower operational costs and improved compliance with international environmental standards.
Conclusion. The obtained data confirm the significant potential of GIS in enhancing the energy efficiency of maritime transportation. The integration of these technologies into route planning and vessel operation management enables not only a reduction in fuel costs and carbon emissions but also an increase in the economic efficiency of maritime logistics. Further integration of GIS with artificial intelligence and real-time data processing systems may lead to even greater sustainability and efficiency in the shipping industry.
