Alternative fuels ; Bunkering operationAbstract
The present research, which took place in the form of a literature review, aimed to evaluate and compare the different alternative fuels already available, identifying and analysing their performance, their impact on the environment, their cost and their production cycle. In addition, the relevant legislative framework and the readiness of the market to accept each of the fuels was investigated in order to identify which could be used more easily and safely. Through the study, it was found that alternative fuels are a safe alternative, which however, requires proper adaptation and evaluation before adoption. Consequently, further research is necessary to discover the most effective strategies for transitioning to more sustainable shipping.
