Cruise ships need to have large power plants to supply the propulsion and hotel load. This chapter describes the typical power plant options for a modern cruise ship and lists the propulsion alternatives and power sources, including fuel cells, diesel engines and gas turbines. The principle and benefits of pod propulsion are discussed, including typical propulsion drive components and their efficiencies.
