Issues and solutions for energy efficiency for waterway industry

Abstract

The inland ship sector plays a crucial role in passenger and goods transportation in our country's transportation industry, with freight transport ranking second only to the road sector. This well-established sector helps alleviate the burden on road transportation and brings about economic efficiency in Vietnam. However, to further promote sustainability, it is essential to focus on fuel substitution and the efficient use of energy within the inland ship industry, aiming to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. This article aims to analyze the current energy utilization practices and propose development strategies to ensure efficient energy use in inland ship transportation in the future.
