Ship voyage energy efficiency assessment using ship simulators [PDF]

, 2015
The increase in global trade is driving growth in both the size and number of ships. However, this increased demand is leading to greater contributions from shipping to air pollution. This is leading designers and operators to propose and adopt novel powering and propulsion systems.

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

The Role of Supply Chain Capabilities in Linking Circular Economy Practices and Supply Chain Resilience

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how circular economy (CE) practices relate to supply chain resilience (SCRES), focusing on the capability‐based mechanisms through which CE strategies may influence resilience outcomes. Drawing on survey data from 125 Italian firms engaged in CE initiatives, we employ partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐

Development of a ship weather routing system for energy efficient shipping [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper, a new ship weather routing system is developed towards enhancing energy efficiency. The routes searching is essentially regarded as an optimisation process with two objectives, which are respectively ETA (estimated arrival time) and fuel consumption.
