Inboard Engines and Commercial Applications

Propane can be used as fuel for commercial watercraft, from fishing boats to patrol boats and tugboats. Most of these boats can run on two types of fuel. Moreover, many existing engines can be converted to propane to significantly reduce fuel and long-term maintenance costs, without loss of power.

As for large transport ships, propane is seen more and more as a viable and advantageous fuel since its use does not require the installation of costly infrastructures, such as bunkering facilities, and its use makes it possible to automatically meet new environmental standards. It is easy to store and easier to handle than gas sources that must be kept at very low temperatures for transport.
