    Marine engines provide propulsion for ships, whether small coastal vessels or large international ships, through a 4-stroke or 2-stroke internal combustion engine that converts heat from burned fuel into mechanical energy. Ship engines work by combusting fuel inside cylinders to generate heat, which is then transformed into useful mechanical energy to power the ship's movement from port to port.

    Marine engines on ships are responsible for propulsion of the vessel from one

    port to another.  Whether it’s of a small ship plying in the coastal areas or of a
    massive one voyaging international waters, a marine engine of either 4-stroke
    or 2-stroke is fitted onboard ship for the propulsion purpose.

    The marine engines are heat engines used for converting heat, which is


    generated by burning fuel, into useful work, i.e. developing thermal energy
    and transforming it into mechanical energy. The engines used onboard ships
    are internal combustion engines (a type), in which, the combustion of fuel
    takes place inside the engine cylinder and the heat is generated post the
    combustion process.

    Ship Engine Working Principle


    As mentioned earlier, IC (Internal combustion) engines are mainly used
    for marine propulsion and power generation purpose. The working of the
    marine engine can be explained by the following procedure:
