AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

JAKARTA - HYDROGEN BUNKERING ROUTE PLANNER

-

Jakarta, officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, is the capital and largest city of Indonesia. It is located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island, Java. it is the centre of economics, culture and politics of Indonesia.

Jakarta's main seaport, Tanjung Priok, offers ferry connections. Tanjung Priok is Indonesia's busiest port, and the 21st busiest port in the world in 2013, handling over 6.59 million TEUs. To boost port capacity, the two-phase "New Tanjung Priok" extension project was undertaken. When fully operational in 2023, it will triple existing capacity. Muara Angke port is used as a public port, while Ancol marina port is used as a tourist port to connect Thousand Islands.

Most of the visitors attracted to Jakarta are domestic tourists. As the gateway of Indonesia, Jakarta often serves as a stop-over for foreign visitors on their way to other Indonesian tourist destinations such as Bali and Lombok.

Tanjung Priok has 20 terminals: general cargo, multipurpose, scrap, passenger, dry bulk, liquid bulk, oil, chemicals and three container terminals, 76 berths, a quay length of 16,853 metres, a total storage area of 661,822 m2 and a storage capacity of 401,468 tonnes.

On 6 June 2007, the city administration introduced the Waterway (officially Angkutan Sungai), a river boat service along the Ciliwung River. Due to varying water levels and plastic garbage that comes with water from upstream during rains, this service was discontinued. 

Jakarta is not hydrogen ready as we write, hence clean fleet operators will have to seek alternative handling facilities to comply with the IMO's 2040 target.

12TH LEG - At a speed of 13 knots the twelfth leg of the hydrogen powered zero carbon voyage would take just over six days to complete, free of emissions. The demonstration of ZEWT technology in action, could help speed up the transition to non polluting waterborne transport. These projections are only a guide. Many of the ports of call could be bypassed completely to give us a shorter passage.

SOLAR POWERED TRANSIT EXAMPLES - The above table illustrates one of the most likely climate/ocean awareness expedition routes that could be undertaken by the Elizabeth Swan, showing the time elapsed in days for 7 knots average cruising speed, including times for 5 and 6 knot averages - allowing for 10% downtime and 36 days in ports. Hence, although the objective is to reduce the current solar circumnavigation record from 584 days, the event in not an outright non-stop yacht competition in the offshore racing sense.

A RACE AGAINST THE CLIMATE CLOCK: The climate clock is ticking faster, speeding up global warming. Solar power is a proven means of traversing the oceans, but it is too slow for cargo transport as we write. But introduce hydrogen into the equation and we can manage up to 4000nm on hydrogen tanks alone. Using LH2, it might be possible to circumnavigate the globe on one tank full - and using solar in combination, travel Around The World In 80 days.  Without hydrogen bunkering at ports and harbours it is more of a logistical challenge. This is a problem for port authorities and operators all over the globe, a topic for COP26 and similar events - as the world continues to fry on fossil fuels.   http://jules-verne.org/   http://jules-verne.org/
