The energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives makes the design of future-proof ships even more important. In the design phase of a ship, it is uncertain how many and which fuels it will use in the future due to many external factors. In fact, a ship typically sails for decades, …

In this research paper, it was concluded that there still remains a lot of uncertainty in the predicament of when a gas-trip can occur on dual-fuel propelled ships. In a situation on board of the Coral Energy, these gas-trips resulted in the main engine not being able to switch-over to gas-mode again. …

This article proposes an analytical model for a conversion from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to Liquide Natural Gas(LNG) dual-fuel engine in a fleet with three sizes of vessels in order to investigate the impact of the volatility of oil prices, and a declining Energy Return on Investment (EROI) on opting LNG …

Daily life is greatly influenced by fossil fuels.
