One of the main applications discussed in decarbonising marine sector is via alternative fuels, such as methanol and ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen. These alternative, low-carbon fuels often come with increased prices operational expenses for vessel operators, which are ultimately reflected passengers' costs. Therefore, it important to assess familiarity expressions linked decarbonisation their willingness pay this 'green premium' fuels. To these, we ran a survey-based study collected close 2000 answers through different channels passengers, specifically those travelling Northern European region on roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels. We found that most passengers prioritise environmental friendliness concerned about issues. However, there seems be lack knowledge fuel technologies. Familiarity certain fuel-related results more positive view them. The observed affected by level education, income, place residence, addition concern issues, frequency travel spending trips.
