Tech Tutor: How dual fuel engines balance cost, compliance, and flexibility
The global shipping industry is under pressure to reduce emissions without slowing global trade. Fully zero-emission vessels are still years from reality, but dual fuel engines provide a practical solution. By running on both conventional fuels and cleaner alternatives such as LNG or ammonia, these systems give shipowners flexibility to cut costs, meet tightening environmental standards, and prepare for next-generation propulsion.
Hanwha is playing a central role in this transition, delivering end-to-end solutions across every stage of a vessel’s journey. From advancing dual fuel engine technology — including next-generation systems developed for LNG carriers — to providing retrofit solutions that extend fleet life, Hanwha is helping to cut emissions today while setting the stage for the zero-emission ships of the future.
Here’s a guide to how dual fuel engines work — and why their versatility is vital to shipping today.
