The present development trends of four stroke medium speed engines, consisting of many small steps, are discussed. Then the possibilities of some larger steps, e.g. further increase of specific power, further decrease of special fuel consumption and also application of ceramic materials, are discussed. Finally a comparison is made between the merits of the different engine configurations, like crosshead against trunk piston and two stroke against four stroke designs.
