MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency

MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency with specialist modules covering Energy Efficiency, Marine Environmental Protection and Maritime Cyber Security The technological and regulatory developments in the maritime industry, particularly those related to ship's energy efficiency and emission control, have caused a void that LJMU has recognised can only be filled through a formal educational programme. Discussions at IMO could potentially lead to a new ‘energy efficiency officer’ role onboard ship, in order to help achieve the IMO’s target of 40% reduction CO2 emissions by 2030 and 70% by 2050. These shore or shipboard personnel will also need a thorough awareness of issues related to Cyber Security and environment protection. The new programme will incorporate modules on Energy Efficiency, and Cyber Security Marine Environment Protection. This programme will therefore suit all personnel who need to enhance their knowledge and abilities in these areas. The course will combine our expertise in engineering, renewable and maritime teaching and research, to provide a holistic solution for shipping, ports and shipyards. The foundation of this one year MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency programme is built around three subject specialist modules; 'Conventional Fuels and Alternative Energy Sources’, ‘Marine Environmental Protection’ and ‘Energy Efficiency (Ships and Ports)’. The unique content of this programme covers topics not often seen in higher education, for personnel considering coming ashore from a seafaring career, or for those progressing into management level roles in shore based ship management. The MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency programme design takes into consideration the current technological and regulatory developments in the industry and at IMO, their integration into industrial operations and appreciation of their limitations – all factors that will provide the students completing this course with a distinct standing in the industry and career progression to senior management roles, allowing them to manage and/or operate their ships efficiently.
