17 Conclusions 1. Hybrid EGCS performance measurements were carried out on board the ship during two month service operation period. 2. On average EGCS operation in open loop mode was 17 hrs at sea and 7 hrs a day in closed loop at port. 3. SO X and CO 2 emissions results are characterized by strong scattering of values, which in principle makes it impossible to assess compliance with the relevant limits, expressed in MEPC.184 (59) 29 guidelines. 4. Undoubtedly, this has to do with variable EGCS mode of operation, which is determined by the load of propulsion engines. 5. Sea water system exhibits much more stable parameters, qualifying for compliance assessment. Results of measurement of seawater parameters showed a slight lower ph value; 6.2 (OL) and 6.3 (CL) below the limit value No Turbidity of 8.9 NTU (OP) and 11.8 NTU (CL) over 25 NTU limit was exceeded.

18 Conclusions 1. The EGCS and related facilities introduce significant increases in electricity consumption, both: at sea and berth and this transfers into an increase in fuel consumption of % of the total actual ship s flowrate. 2. The EGCS efficiency was estimated using the formula: ξ 1 = E SO2 E SO2 1% E SO2 and reached: 93.8 %. 3. Actual consumption of NaOH solution remains at 6.8 ltr/t of fuel oil. 4. The SOx emission for a ship equipped with EGCS was estimated at.47 g/kwh Scrubber efficiency [%] SO 2 emission - [ppm] Scrubber unit efficiency: 93.8% SO 2 [g/kwh] SO 2 specific emission [g/kwh] SO 2 spec.: Engine power [kw] Engine power [kw]
