碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 輪機工程系 === 95 === Energy conservation and efficiency is an important issue for shipping industry mainly due to the atmospheric emissions and soaring fuel price. In this study, a survey was conducted with maritime specialists in order to identify the willingness and criteria they judged as most important in achieving a successful adoption of means to improve energy efficiency onboard merchant ships. An energy auditing was also performed through engineroom logbook on board of merchant ships to identify the possible barriers to energy conservation and efficiency for marine shipping. The result of this study shows that while most keyplayers of Taiwan marine shipping are very willing to promote energy conservation and efficieny onboard ship, most merchant ships are not operating energy-efficiently. In addition, the result in this study serves as information for public policy makers on the degree to which policy can or should attempt to provide guidelines in shaping the attidude of the industry towards the application.
