The gas carriers use natural gas as fuel and emit the least amount of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.
Gas carriers are mostly used to transport natural gas. The oil tankers, bulk carriers, general cargo ships, and container ships are the lifeline of world trade and economy. Any disruption in the operations of these ships adversely affects the trade and economy. The number of oil tankers, bulk carriers, general cargo ships, and container ships is steadily increasing and boosting the marine engine markets.
By Capacity Analysis
On the basis of capacity, the global marine engine market is segmented into 0- 10000 HP, 10000 - 20000 HP, 20000 - 30000 HP, 30000 - 40000 HP, 40000 - 50000 HP, 50000 - 60000 HP, 60000 - 70000 HP, 70000 - 80000 HP, 80000 - 90000 HP, 90000 - 100000 HP, 100000 - 110000 HP and greater than 110000 HP. The modular marine engines make it easier and flexible for customization according to customer. The smaller range engines of 0-10000 HP capacity dominate the market as a result of their modularity. The smaller capacity marine engines are readily available in stock and can be customized as per requirement. The marine engine capacity of 50000 - 60000 HP, 60000 - 70000 HP, 70000 - 80000 HP, 80000 - 90000 HP, 90000 - 100000 HP, 100000 - 110000 Hp and greater than 110000 HP are used for large vessels or fleets. These large capacity engines are made to order and not available readily in stock. The large ships upgrade their engines to increase efficiency and reduce operating costs.

By Fuel Type Analysis
Based on fuel, the global marine engine market is divided into heavy fuel oil, intermediate fuel oil, marine diesel oil, marine gas oil, natural gas, and others. The natural gas is one of the cleanest fuels available to propel the ship and boats. The natural gas-based marine engines are used dominantly in gas carriers. Although storage and handling of onboard of natural gas are complicated, the burning of natural emits minimal quantities of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, which are under emission norms. Propane based marine engines are becoming more popular for small boats, yachts, etc. To limit sulfur emissions from 1st January 2020, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has regulated the use of fuel, which contains sulfur less than 0.5% or install scrubbers or equivalent technology to reduce net sulfur emissions. The use of heavy fuel oil and intermediate fuel oil is going to drastically reduce with partial compliance of the norms. Irrespective of the level of compliance, use of marine gas oil and marine diesel oil is going to increase in 2020. The alternative technologies based on rechargeable batteries used along with solar systems or fuel cells are also gaining traction. The marine engine market dynamics have boosted the research, development, and demonstration of alternate technologies for marine propulsion. The marine engine market scenario is favorably inclined towards LPG as fuel and investigations are underway for the same.
By Speed Analysis
Based on speed, the marine engine is classified as a high-speed engine, medium-speed engine, and low-speed engine. The low-speed marine engines are mainly used in large capacity ships because it provides high torque and power to propel the ship forward. These low-speed variants are custom made to order and not readily available in stock. Few variants of medium-speed engines are readily available in stock and can be installed in the ships and boats with very low lead times. Medium-sized boats and ships use medium-speed engines. The high-speed variants are used in motorboats, yachts, ferries, cruises, etc. which cover the distance quickly and widely used for pleasure and transport.
By Stroke Analysis
Based on stroke, the marine engine is segmented in two-stroke, four-stroke, and other engines. The two-stroke marine engines are large-sized engines and are low-speed engines. The two-stroke engines power the supertankers and ultra-large vessels used for trade. The two-stroke engines are not preferred for small capacity installations as they increase emissions of GHGs as compared to four-stroke engines. Some countries have banned the use of two-stroke engines under specific capacities. The four-stroke engines are used largely in small ships and boats, which are used as a means of transport and pleasure.
