TL;DR: An optimal framework which facilitates life cycle assessment and life cycle cost assessment is introduced, thereby supporting rapid and reliable decision-making in the marine industry and opened up the possibility of extending the application of the proposed framework to the areas where proper decision- making is essential but under-used.

TL;DR: A new decision-making process which is used to compare the performance of a ship with either diesel electric hybrid propulsion or conventional propulsion systems is introduced and the results showed that operating the ship in hybrid mode during manoeuvring and berthing is more desirable as the holistic cost can reduce in almost $ 1 million.

TL;DR: Recent trends for developing autonomous vessels with the introduction of the latest projects around the globe and the individual and combined impact of the MASS on regulations, technologies, and industries are presented.

TL;DR: 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 and can contribute to reducing hull resistance and hence fuel consumption, thereby reducing the overall operating costs and emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential benefits of solar panel systems if applied for obtaining propulsion power of a short route ferry operating in the Marmara Sea, and applied the life cycle assessment to evaluate the long-term environmental impact of the solar power systems on-board in replace of conventional diesel engine systems.
