This paper presents the importance of coating maintenance and suggests an optimal strategy from economic and environmental points of view. Life cycle analysis is introduced to estimate the economy and environment impacts so particular decision can be made. A case study of a hybrid ferry is carried out where cash, energy and emission flows are tracked and evaluated. With different maintenance intervals, the consumptions of energy, materials and fuels are evaluated to estimate their cost benefits. Emissions normalization is also applied to determine environmental potentials to determine the relation of environmental impacts which are converted and compared in monetary terms. Annual-based hull inspection and re-coating is proved to reduce hull resistance and fuel consumptions which is a way to achieve cost-saving operations. The assessment has been proven to be able to make reliable decision, so it is suggested to facilitate life cycle assessment in the marine industry.

Privatization, Ownership and Technical Efficiency a Study of the Turkish Cement Industry Saygili, Seref; Taymaz, Erol (2001-12-01) This paper presents an empirical study of the effects of ownership and privatization on technical efficiency in the Turkish cement industry. We first summarize the characteristics of the Turkish cement industry and changes in industrial structure in the post-privatization period. The effects of ownership and privatization on technical efficiency are estimated using the stochastic production frontier approach. The empirical tests presented, which use data on all cement plants in Turkey, suggest that neither ...
Cost Efficiency Analyses of Optimally Sized Steel Frames for Economical Design of Medium-Rise Buildings Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2014-09-01) The study, in this paper, investigates cost-efficient steel frameworks for economical design of medium-rise buildings. A total of 13 steel frames that incorporate various types of beam-column connection and bracing configuration are considered for detailed and comparative cost analyses. The numerical applications are performed using a 10-story building stiffened according to each of these steel frameworks to yield 13 test frames. First design optimizations are carried out in which the total member weight in...
Life cycle cost and environmental impact analysis of ship hull maintenance strategies for a short route hybrid ferry Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) This paper provides a general insight into the importance of proper hull maintenance and suggests an optimal maintenance strategy for ship operators from both an economic and environmental point of view. Results of life cycle assessment show that significant cost reductions can be obtained by renewing steels every 10 years within the proposed hull maintenance strategy. The assessment also indicates that annual hull inspections and re-coating can contribute to reducing hull resistance and hence fuel consumpt...
Fossil fuel sustainability index: An application of resource management Ediger, Volkan S.; Hosgor, Enes; Surmeli, A. Nesen; Tatlidil, Huseyin (2007-05-01) A brief review on use of fossil fuel resources and sustainability is given in this paper. A sustainability index for fossil fuels is developed, which aims to determine the most efficient management of fossil fuel resources for the energy system. The study is conducted for 62 countries, in the presence of independence, lifetime and environmental constraints. The effect of these indicators are then integrated into a single index for oil, natural gas, and coal. Two approaches have been taken. The first one emp...
Energy Efficiency of Drilling Operations Karpuz, Celal (null, 2018-03-01) This chapter presents a review of the literature on energy efficiency of drilling operations in mineral industries. The drilling systems, the factors effecting drilling work and the general relations between type of drilling systems and corresponding the property of rock introduced. First, the basic features of rock drilling and the role of drilling work in energy efficiency of mineral industry is generally described. Then the importance of energy concept which is usually expressed in terms of specific ener...
