Résumé

Flexible dual-fuel power technology is becoming increasingly important in a marine market where fuel oil prices are fluctuating and emission legislation is becoming ever more stringent.
The advantage of the dual-fuel technology is, without doubt, fuel flexibility. This technology makes it possible to utilise the economic and environmental superiority of gas fuel. The benefits of natural gas are low price and good environmental compatibility, thanks to its clean combustion.
The main objective of the present work is to provide a more comprehensive view of the advantages of choosing a dual fuel engine instead of the conventional engine. For this analysis will be considered two ships and will also be taken into account the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI).
