Abstract

Notwithstanding the fact that maritime shipping is the
most energy efficient mode of transportation for large quantities
of freight, there are continues efforts to improve its performance.
These efforts have become even more intensive since the
beginning of global economic crisis.
Slow steaming is one of the attempts to improve both
environmental and economic performance of maritime shipping.
The paper gives an overview of existing studies on slow
steaming and lists other available and already applicable
solutions.

Keywords
