In the effort to reduce the cost of the slurry carrier, several alternatives to the fine coal slurry tanker have been proposed and considered in a number of published and proprietary studies. The alternatives addressed in this paper include transport of coarse coal slurries, new construction vs. conversions, and conversions of tank vessels and bulk carriers. The discussion has generally been limited to the ship portion of the system, recognizing that only total system studies can properly support the selection of the best shipping alternative for a given trade opportunity.
