Noise onboard FT module carrier vessel

Abstract

Regarding the latest MEPC requirements, the noise levels onboard ships is mandatory to be limited as levels under the maximum acceptable values. In this task should be involved the designers, shipbuilders, owners and others acting in this industry. In the last years the hybrid propulsion system has been implemented onboard more and more ships. What is the influence of this arrangement on crew and passengers onboard ships, is good or not? The paper presents the noise levels onboard a vessel having hybrid propulsion system (diesel-electric).
