Sažetak

One of the highest cost of building the ship refers to the ship’s propulsion system. It is therefore very
important to know all the types and specificities of propulsion systems for the optimal selection. This
paper presents the conventional and the combined propulsion systems, where are briefly given their
characteristics and specificities. Special attention is given to the combined propulsion systems, whose
extensive use is still under expectation. At the end, the paper discusses the cost calculation of a marine
propulsion system of selected passenger cruiser and comparison to the possible alternative system.
