Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for supplying a fuel to an engine of a ship. The apparatus for supplying a fuel to an engine of a ship includes: a high pressure pump pressurizing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) and supplying the pressurized LNG to the engine; a hydraulic motor driving the high pressure pump; and a lubricating pump supplying lubricating oil to the high pressure pump. L'invention porte sur un appareil et sur un procédé pour alimenter un moteur d'un navire en carburant. L'appareil pour alimenter un moteur d'un navire en carburant comprend : une pompe haute pression comprimant un gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) et qui alimente le moteur en gaz naturel liquéfié comprimé; un moteur hydraulique entraînant la pompe haute pression ; et une pompe de lubrification fournissant de l'huile de lubrification à la pompe haute pression.
