Abstract

The practice of slow steaming in maritime transport, initially introduced in the 1970s during the first oil crisis, has evolved into a strategy offering both cost reduction and environmental benefits. The overall combined costs for carriers and shippers experienced significant reductions with slow steaming, with extra slow steaming yielding even greater cost savings. While slow steaming is not the sole method to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, it proves to be the most efficient in terms of time and cost. Shipping operators globally recognize its advantages, as it aligns with environmental sustainability efforts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study carried out a comprehensive exploration of the effects of slow steaming on container ships, focusing specifically on the Surabaya-Makassar route. The research aims to learn how much the impact of slow steaming on the ship operation. This study analyzes the impact of slow steaming on container ships in terms of fuel consumption and carbon emissions on the Surabaya-Makassar route. The lowest speed is 5 knots, and the highest speed is 11 knots. At a speed of 5 knots, fuel consumption decreases by 5% compared to the ship's speed at 11 knots. The same applies to the reduction in carbon emissions.

Abstract

This study presents a systematic sensitivity analysis of key hydrostatic parameters, keel to buoyancy distance (KB), metacentric radius (BM), and metacentric height (GM), with respect to incremental changes in displacement for the Mini Borneo barge. Utilizing only the vessel’s official stability booklet data, natural cubic splines were fitted to the discrete hydrostatic tables to reconstruct continuous functions for each parameter over the displacement range of 256.6 t to 1641.0 t. First derivative functions were then derived analytically and cross-validated via centered finite difference, enabling high-resolution evaluation of ∂KB/∂Δ, ∂BM/∂Δ, and ∂GM/∂Δ at 0.01 t increments. Results indicate that KB sensitivity peaks at a moderate load of approximately 436.6 t (0.00045 m/t), whereas BM and GM sensitivities reach their maxima at full-load conditions near 1641.0 t (0.00086 m/t and 0.00092 m/t, respectively). Critical displacement intervals were identified around these peaks, highlighting narrow bands where small weight additions most profoundly affect stability. These findings inform the definition of safe-loading envelopes and ballast-management strategies, providing practical thresholds to maintain regulatory stability margins without the need for additional sea trials. The methodology is readily generalizable to other small craft equipped with hydrostatic booklets..
