        abstract = {This paper handles about the comparison of low carbon fueling mechanism for comfort shipping by reducing the pollution considerably. Shipping contributes quite a large portion to the total greenhouse gas emissions and other toxic emissions. This is mainly because of the reason that low grade bunker fuel is used in the vessels by eliminating tremendous amount of Sulphur dioxide. So it is high time to think about alternate fuel options for commercial shipping as world is facing bigger threats regarding environmental impacts like global warming, Green House effect, Ozone layer depletion and scarcity of traditional fuels on one hand and threats to human and aquatic life on other side.  This primary step of this work is to understand the current systems and fuels that are being used by the commercial shipping. The carbon foot prints of these fuels and technologies are analyzed. The objective of this research is to investigate alternate fuel options that are available for commercial shipping that can reduce the emission, especially carbon emissions. This research has got relevance in the current shipping sector as various nations and I.M.O are implementing various rules regarding emission controls and efficiency rating of the engine. The study is also supported with the help of management tools like Q.F.D and SWOT Analysis. These justifies the selection, relevance and progress of the work. The work was successful in identifying and analyzing some of the most viable options for commercial shipping. More over as a research work, it is moral responsibility of every individual especially a professional to put some efforts to save ‘Mother earth’ and Crisis regarding health hazards and fuel availability},
