The Utilization of Dual Fuel Auxiliary Engines as Power
The Utilization of Dual Fuel Auxiliary Engines as Power Generation to Reduce CO2 Emissions Throughout the Average Port Time of Container Ships
A Guide to Auxiliary Engines on a Ship
Some modern ships, especially those emphasizing high efficiency or specific operational needs, incorporate gas turbines as auxiliary power units. They offer quick start-up

Container ships have been chosen since most studies focus on this ship category. Analogous analyses are provided in Appendix F. Fig. 2 also shows a comparison to the values from
How Ship Auxiliary Engine Works — In One Simple Flow (2025)
Cost considerations include initial investment, maintenance, and fuel consumption. While modern auxiliary engines are more efficient, their complexity can lead to higher upfront
Operational costs
By using shore-generated power instead of running auxiliary diesel engines, vessel operators enjoy a fuel cost benefit, the magnitude of which depends very much on the going fuel price.
Assigning machinery power values for estimating ship exhaust
Operating auxiliary engine power does not necessarily increase with ship size. The auxiliary power scheme can strongly affect the estimated emissions.
The Utilization of Dual Fuel Auxiliary Engines as Power Generation
This study utilises new emissions measurements and supply-chain data to conduct a comprehensive environmental life cycle and cost assessment of LNG as a shipping fuel,
Port energy demand model for implementing onshore power
One year of real port operations, including material handling equipment and trucks, were simulated. The peak power and annual energy demand for the OPS system were
1 Power of aux engines
A size dependency of auxiliary engine loads is obvious when comparing small and large vessels because many of the smaller vessels use shaft generators to produce the electricity needed.
