| 摘要： | In the commercial marine world, we are now inundated with the term "hybrid." There is hybrid powered, hybrid design, hybrid propulsion system, hybrid ferry and other hybrid vessels, etc. One of Webster's definitions of the term is "something (such as a power plant, vehicle, or electronic circuit) that has two different types of components performing essentially the same function." In this issue, three of our main features discuss hybrid, or "noncon-ventional" power choices. The first is our cover story on LNG fuel use in ships (see page 28). One way to reduce carbon emissions is to simply burn less fuel by increasing efficiency and reducing speed. Another method is to operate on an alternative fuel, such as LNG, hydrogen, methanol, ammonia or electricity. TOTE Maritime and Crowley Maritime have switched to LNG as fuel for their Jones Act-compliant container/ro-ro operations. TOTE's and Crowley's ships all operate with dual-fuel engines, which means they can burn fuel oil or LNG. In fact, they burn both. |
