Summary:

Since the 1973 petroleum crisis, marine diesel engine designers had to cope with the new world market requirements that is to say lower overall transportation cost and consequently: reduced fuel consumption, low maintenance cost, capability to burn the cheapest available fuel and improved reliability. These criteria and specially the two last, are more or less in contradiction. The paper enlights how, thanks to strong research and development strengths, this goal has been achieved taking as examples the SEMT PIELSTICK four stroke medium speed engines:As soon as the installation (heating, purifying, filtration and water emulsification processes) are all right, they can burn the cheapest heavy fuel available on the market
