The intention of this article is to given a description of the topography of the future marine propulsion problem from which we possibly could draw conclusions about tendencies and possibilities in the future. If you want to study the future possibilities for different prime movers, this has to be based upon the decisive factor of yesterday, today and tomorrow, namely the transportation economy for these different prime movers in a given hull. Further to the main economical questions, some of the internal problems in diesel engines will be discussed. The investment cost benefit versus the reliability benefit or sacrifice will be dealt with as will the question if two-stroke or four-stroke engines have any advantages or disadvantages when competing with each other. Finally, the problems of energy release in a thermal energy converter in a future with deteriorating fuel qualities will be discussed. (Wassmann)
