World’s First Conversion of Container Ship to Dual-Fuel Operation

The project involved the retrofitting of the 1,036-teu feeder container ship’s MAN 8L48/60B main engine to a multi-fuel, four-stroke MAN 51/60DF unit that enables dual-fuel operation - the first such conversion of its type the world has ever seen.
The dual-fuel conversion has enabled the ‘Wes Amelie’ to significantly reduce its SOx emissions by 99%, NOx by approximately 90%, and CO2 by up to 20%. The vessel now meets both the Tier II and Tier III emission requirements set by the International Maritime Organisation.

In this Conversion project, which parts of the older engine didn't require replacement?

Es buena idea el descarbonizar , pero me guiaría mejor por una hidrogenera dentro del Buque en la proa y el motor eléctrico en la popa y agua directa potabilizada por un pequeña planta desalinizadora, y un juego de baterias de lition para la carga y descarga.

pero si ya existen Hidrogeneras, no es mejor poner una hidrogenera dentro y una potabiliza dora que desalinice el agua de mar no ?

Y la seguridad del personal del buque tiene que ser mejor 4 veces !
