New LNG carrier
The system is destined to a new LNG carrier. It is part of an infrastructure strategy, which provides for the construction of several LNG depots along the Italian coast to provide a reliable energy supply.
The system allows vessels with two-stroke engines to efficiently generate power to supply consumers on board with the help of the main engine.
The new build is a 30,000 cbm LNG carrier owned by Knutsen OAS. It is equipped with a 6,00 kW strong 2 – stroke main engine and is the first of this size.
