Ships embodying a wide range of energy carrier conversion, end-use technologies and emissions, can be considered as a whole energy system and require focused analysis to provide guidance and foresight for naval engineers, ship operators and fleet managers. Considering the emerging technologies in marine industry and the new regulations promulgated by the local or worldwide authorities, benefiting the superpowers of computing technologies became vital in order to let the stakeholders keep their profits up while fulfilling the regulations and restrictions. Since optimizing a system is the focus of all kinds of engineering, software tools aiming to provide guidance for the decision makers have been widely used for the last decades. This study anticipates to bring a comprehensive and open ended software tool solution for the stakeholders and the researchers of the shipping industry and to be the first step for a sophisticated open source software tool which will shape with the help of future researchers.
