The thought of working in the confines of a ship's engine room with such a hazardous fuel is horrifying. One reason for the widespread use of diesel oil is that it's relatively safe for human operatives.

- Dylan16807 6y agoCarbon monoxide is very dangerous. Removing that to replace it with the risks from ammonia could be a net improvement.
