Abstract: This study investigated the availability and safety concerns of the conventional and prospective propulsion systems for LNG carriers:•dual-fuel steam turbine mechanical (DFSM) propulsion,•dual-fuel diesel electric (DFDE) propulsion,•dual-fuel gas turbine electric (DFGE) propulsion,•dual-fuel diesel mechanical (DFDM) propulsion, and•diesel mechanical propulsion with reliquefaction (SFDM+R).
