The paper outlines how the basic marine coal-fired watertube boiler technology, developed over thirty years ago, has been successfully adapted to the present day marine environment to produce a range of boilers to match all demands. The conceptual design of the ESDC boiler is reviewed in some depth together with a brief look at some of the ancillary equipment associated with the modern day plant. With the advent of uncertain fuel quality and supply the fluidized bed boiler - now proven on land - will provide the versatility the marine industry will require in the future. An insight into this type of combustion and operation illustrates our plans for the future 'Third Generation' of coal fired marine boilers.
