  As the worldwide shipping continue to face numerous challenges, recent policies will meaningfully limit the extent of sulfur Oxides emissions from vessels, these include North America and northern Europe. Liquefied Natural Gas is a possible solution for attaining these requirements. This is due to its practically no sulfur content with its combustion producing very low NOx compared to conventional fuel oil and marine diesel oil. Liquefied Natural Gas is cleaner - burning, and also economic advantageous over other marine fuels. Due to these scenarios and results, there have been recent developments to encourage use of Liquefied Natural Gas as a bunker fuel. This research work therefore is on espousing Liquefied Natural Gas as marine propulsion fuel: prospects and challenges. Specific objectives in line with the broad objective were formed while h..
