Abstract [en]
The project Silent@Sea, funded by the Swedish Transport Administration, aims to investigate levels of noise radiated from ships into the marine environment as well as on board from diesel engines, from LNG engines and from electric propulsion. The current paper presents results from measurements of on board noise and vibrations, external under water noise and external air borne noise from a hybrid battery/diesel shuttle ferry. On board vibration measurements provided information about sources such as engine mounts and thruster mounts that potentially radiate noise into the water. The most important of these sources were then confirmed by narrow band analysis of corresponding under water noise measurement results. Finally, results from air borne noise measurements were similarly analysed to find sources that contribute to both under and over water marine environment noise exposure. The analyses show that the vessel emit comparatively low levels of noise regardless of propulsion mode, and that when using electric propulsion the noise is further reduced both on board and under as well as over the water.
