Most modern ships are propelled primarily by diesel engines, which drive either propellers or water jets. Some vessels utilize gas turbines for higher speeds, while others may employ hybrid systems that combine traditional engines with electric propulsion. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the exploration of alternative fuels and energy sources, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and battery systems, to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions.
