Abstract
Introducing alternative fuels on board has many far stretching implications for ship operators, authorities, fuel suppliers, equipment suppliers, engine manufacturers, ship builders and naval architects. In most cases such parties are not familiar with these new fuels. Hence a need exists for them for a means to quickly familiarize oneself with the most important aspects associated with these alternative fuels. This report is an attempt to provide such a means. It is meant to provide general information for fleet owners, naval architects and public stakeholders like policy advisors and rescue workers, to understand the main benefits and implications of methanol as a maritime fuel. This is done by comparing methanol with diesel (HFO and MGO) fuel and with LNG. For more detailed information, we also refer to other publications of the Green Maritime methanol project.
