This paper will discuss how the GT35 light industrial gas turbine was adapted to marine applications, which difficulties were encountered and how they were solved. The GT35 has since it's introduction to the marine market proved to be a highly successful propulsion alternative. The design modifications and the adaption to marine conditions carried out prior to the introduction has shown that an industrial gas turbine can be converted to a competitive ship propulsion alternative. Further will a short introduction to IF 30 type fuel be made and it will then be discussed how it is possible to operate the GT35 on heavy fuel oils such as the IF 30. The ability of the GT35 to operate on heavy fuel oils without larger reduction in availability and power output made it an alternative that has the potential of becoming the most economic one in various marine and land based applications.
