Observational analysis reveals operational performance of alternative fuels under slow steaming, highlighting implications for regulatory compliance.

LNG achieves a 55.1% reduction in global warming potential emissions during slow steaming.
LPG offers the highest cost-benefit ratio, estimated at 131 USD/tonCO2eq at 75% SMCR.
Methanol has better environmental performance than marine diesel oil but is costlier and less preferable.
Comprehensive analysis of fuel costs, maintenance, and cargo freight is crucial for informed decision-making.

Zincir et al. (2025) studied this question.
