Within the report: The possible fuel alternatives were to be determined; The routes have been assessed on their applicability to the possible fuels; An understanding was gained on the possible impact upon the local grid; and The details of what changes would be required to the current service were discussed and evaluated, in relation to alternative fuel options. Due to the age of the current vessels operating the routes, retrofitting was not considered as a viable option and any alternatives to the current fleet would be new vessels. The work included the compilation of case studies of vessels deriving power from alternative fuels which includes LNG, CNG, hydrogen, full-electric, liquid nitrogen, bio- fuels, compressed air, ammonia, nuclear, wind and wave.
