Just wondering what the difference is in energy vs oil. We discovered if we ran our standby generator on propane, we’d loose about 500 watts (5500kw total) so we stayed with gasoline. Not sure, but if the ship’s engine is designed to run on LNG ...
These ships engines are designed to run on Nat Gas. It is not taking a fuel oil engine and converting it.
It is a more expensive engine, typically.
You just need to increase he volume of fuel getting to the engine to make up for the loss of energy. I converted ours to natural gas and as long as you get to the recommended RPMs you should get the same wattage.

That sounds like programming. The engine should increase fuel and air intake automatically when rpm dips from increased power usage.
A better question, what companies are producing LNG and how can I invest.
