- Title
The Future of Marine Propulsion: "Reading the Propulsion Crystal Ball".
- Authors
Tangora, Michael
- Abstract
The marine industry is headed into a period of uncertainty as both environ-mental restrictions and rising fuel prices simultaneously converge unlike any time in its past. Yet at the same time, innovations in propulsion solutions have allowed the industry to keep pace with demands thus far, as the demand signal continues for both efficient propulsion designs as well as lower overall emissions. The growing calls for environmental compliance, and its origins will be examined, as well as solutions that will reduce propulsion emissions. New regulations and fuels with lower sulfur content will require reconfiguration of the propulsion plants. This paper primariiy discusses both the background of the challenges that the industry will be facing as weil as available solutions. Both the marine industry as well as the military will be reviewed.
