To meet the requirements of ship emission control in our country, measures should be taken on
inland river-going vessels to save energy and reduce emission. Based on two real vessels, it
analyzes the energy consumption and emission data of diesel engine direct propulsion and
electric propulsion system, and draws the conclusion that the electric propulsion system has
a higher energy-saving advantage and larger environmental benefit. Our country is increasing
its efforts to study the core technologies and key equipment for electric propulsion, and it
will also promote the development of electric propulsion products, improve the quality of
corresponding products and lower prices. In the future, inland river-going vessels are
expected to gradually expand the use of electric propulsion system.
