Abstract

We all know that the world is eager for environmental solutions which can stop the dangerous, worrying changes of a polluted planet. So is the shipping business. More stringent emission regulations are upcoming for both SOx and NOx and LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) has been recognized as the best solution to pursue this goal and to go into a new era with less emissions and a greener profile. The solution found lays in the dual-fuel engines which today are developed to be applied on any kind of vessel, from merchant to offshore, from ferries to tugs, both in electrical and mechanical applications. The scope of this paper is to bring what are latest steps on to this development process and latest most significant achievements.
