The paper presents comparative analysis of energetic possibilities of different ships with close parameters of displacement and operational ailing range, for selected type of main engine. Analysis is related to three types of ships, i.e. bulk carrier, tanker and container ship, with assumed displacement at level of 120 000DWT and typical for that ships sailing speed. The analysis concerns shipping route from Gdynia to Shanghai. First step of conducted analysis was based on elaboration of the list of contemporary similar ships for every class, their general dimensions, dimensional coefficients, and subsequently evaluation of hulls resistances using Holtrop – Mennen Method necessary for calculation of propulsive power, main engines’ selection, most convenient for every type of ship and calculation of trips durations and fuel consumptions. All calculations were done assuming typical cruising speed for considered types of ships, it means 25 knots for container ships and 15 knots for tankers and bulkers. Results of carried out calculations lets come to the conclusion that total time of trip duration of container ship is 1.5 times shorter and fuel consumption is 2.5 times higher comparing with tankers and bulk carriers going on the same trip. Taking under consideration constantly growing prices of heavy oil, that situation is inconvenient from economical point of view. Above facts explains general trend to reduce speed of container ships presented by almost all shipping companies. The way of speed’s reduction is decreasing of continuous power rate of main engine, what is related to necessity of blinding or dismounting some numbers of turbochargers. Hypothetic example of such operation and its impact at operational properties were analysed, and results showed, that exploitation parameters of the container ship begun closer to bulk carriers and tankers but could not achieve proper level of efficacy due to not optimal hull shape and engine characteristic.
