Future choice of propulsion is a dilemma if ordering vessels today
are not compliant with regulations, technically feasible or readily available
Better suited as energy
Non-attractive

No propulsion solutions points out as an obvious alternative in the short-term to solve medium to long-term targets - This should keep a lid on speculative new orders
