Simulation of the Interrelationship Between Energy Efficiency and Ship Safety Based on Empirical Data and Regression Analysis
摘要
This chapter investigates the relationship between ship energy efficiency and operational safety. Fleet data including indicators of energy efficiency, technical condition of ships and crew training level were analyzed to assess their impact on the overall level of shipping safety. The methodology of multiple regression was applied, which made it possible to establish the coefficients of influence of various independent variables on the dependent variable—ship safety. The conclusions of the study emphasize the importance of energy efficiency not only in the context of reducing operating costs and reducing the negative impact on the environment, but also as an important factor in improving the safety of shipping. The results obtained may be useful for ship owners, operators and regulators dealing with maritime transportation safety issues.
