摘要

An internal combustion engine for driving a ship, wherein the internal combustion engine burns fossil fuel, a supply line that delivers a gas mixture to the combustion chamber, an electrolysis chamber that generates hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, and hydrogen gas and oxygen A marine vessel propulsion system is disclosed that includes a vacuum pump that draws gas out of an electrolysis chamber. The ship propulsion system further comprises a gasification tank that receives volatile organic compounds, in particular methanol or ethanol, and a supply line that supplies the gas mixture to the combustion chamber, the gas mixture being gasified organic compounds from the gasification tank And at least part of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Further, a corresponding ship propulsion system operating method is disclosed.
