Readers of Baird Maritime know that marine engines and propulsion systems are regularly featured on these pages. This time, though, we devote another feature week to these highly important components of all forms of marine transport, from small general use workboats to some of the largest ships currently plying the world's oceans.
In addition to covering vessels powered by conventional marine fuels such as diesel, we review newbuilds designed to operate on alternatives such as hydrogen, LNG, and batteries. One reviewed vessel even has an arrangement that can run on electrical power, LNG, or conventional fuel, providing its owners with greater operational flexibility in transporting large freight volumes.
Continue to visit Baird Maritime over the coming days for the latest developments on the ever-expanding marine engines and propulsion sector.
– "This technology can replace traditional and expensive fuel flow meters, making fuel monitoring more accessible and affordable, especially for older vessels with mechanical engines that do not have access to reliable fuel reading technology."
– "When contemplating this fearsome future, perhaps a big four-masted barque is not such a daft idea after all."
– by Michael Grey, maritime industry legend and former long-term editor of Lloyd's List
