In the article, legal norms regarding the reduction of sulphur content limits in exhaust gases in special areas were presented. Then an overview of various solutions for supplying the marine engine with heavy fuel, distillation fuel and gas was made. In addition, the problem of using low-sulphur fuels in internal combustion engines was described. The presented solutions are a response to the latest provisions being part of the VI Annex of the MARPOL Convention, which entered into force on 01.01.2015. These provisions constitute that sulphation of fuel used in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) may not exceed 0.1%. Then, to meet the requirements, the conditions of using heavy fuels for supplying diesel engines were presented. Individual solutions such as the use of low-sulphur fuels, exhaust gas scrubber assembly, and the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the technical side were shown. Besides, the advantages and disadvantages of each of them were also indicated. In the following part, the economic analysis of the selected ship was made. Its purpose was to evaluate economically in the assumed time of operation, and then select the optimal solution for a given unit. For the comparative analysis, the use of low-sulphur fuels was used; the assembly of the scrubber, as well as the adaptation of the unit to use liquefied natural gas (LPG). The article was finished with conclusions; the most important of them is that the use of fuels with reduced sulphur content is the most expensive solution for the selected ship. The cost of the remaining solutions is at a comparable level, but they require greater interference in the ship’s construction.
