Their main advantages, compared to other propulsion systems based on thermal machines, are low specific fuel consumption and greater thermal efficiency. However, their main disadvantages lie in the emissions produced by combustion, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxide (SOx), and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Over the last decade, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a series of regulations to reduce these emissions based on the introduction of several energy efficiency designs and operational indicators. In this context, this book focuses on the design and operation efficiency of ships through an analysis of the main propulsion systems. It discusses the use of alternative fuels as well as the integration of hybrid and fully electric propulsion systems. 606 $aMarine diesel motors 615 0$aMarine diesel motors. 676 $a623.87236 702 $aOsses$b Joel Perez 702 $aReusser$b Carlos 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688334703321 996 $aModern Ship Engineering, Design and Operations$92822408 997 $aUNINA
