PROPULSION SYSTEM OF A SHIP AND OPERATION OF SAID SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to the propulsion system of a ship and to a method for operating said propulsion system. The propulsion system comprises at least one internal combustion drive engine (3) for propelling the ship, and an energy production device (9) for generating electrical energy from exhaust gases of at least one internal combustion drive engine. The propulsion system is designed to use electrical energy generated from exhaust gases optionally to propel the ship or feed said energy into an electrical system (5) of the ship, or to use said electrical energy in part to propel the ship and in part to feed it into the electrical system (5) of the ship.
