Under the influence of climate and policy, the development of new energy technology for fishing vessels is imminent. The new energy technologies for ships are classified to introduce their specific forms and application on fishing vessels, respectively pointing out the problems in the application and development of various new energy technologies. It is demonstrated that the new fuel power is the main developing direction of the new energy technology for fishing vessels, and the development prospect of each new fuel is analyzed at the same time. It is finally looked into the prospect of the new energy fishing vessels in China.
