Criteria for selection of marine propulsion/ power plant
• Performance and efficiencyy ((at design
g conditions,, both ambient and ship
p duty
y related)) –
ability to meet and match desired ship performance characteristics, including part load,
transient, manouevring/reversing
• Operability, durability and maintainability (automation, fewer parts, long TBOs, availability
of trained MP, spares,
p after sales service/ support
pp etc))
• Size (compactness), weight, footprint, height etc. (Affects capital costs of ship, space and
displacement for other ship functions (e.g. cargo, passengers)
• Fuel and lubrication requirements/flexibility (e.g. can use heavy fuel, dual fuel, low
consumption of lub oil)
• Interaction with other ship systems (including propulsor, heat recovery systems etc.) – e.g.
flexibility in location/ simple installation
η overall = η a × η b × η c
where a, b, c are the sub - systems
