{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Hybrid Ship Propulsion Systems","description":"Hybrid ship propulsion systems cut emissions without sacrificing the range and reliability that commercial shipping demands. They combine at least two power sources—typically diesel engines and electric motors backed by battery storage—running either independently or in tandem depending on operating conditions. Electric drive takes over in port and during harbour approaches, where emission controls are strictest and low-speed efficiency counts most; diesel engines provide the sustained output ne","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/hybrid-ship-propulsion-systems","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:01:00.201310","citation":"https://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/Pages/GHG-Emissions.aspx","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/hybrid-ship-propulsion-systems","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Hybrid Ship Propulsion Systems · Hybrid ship propulsion systems cut emissions without sacrificing the range and reliability that commercial shipping demands. · Quelle: https://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/Pages/GHG-Emissions.aspx"}
