LR Collaborates With MAN To Design Ammonia-fuelled ULCS

  • LR has collaborated with DSIC and Man Energy Solutions to develop the first ammonia-fuelled ULCS in China.
  • LR facilitated hazard identification (HAZID) workshops to determine potential hazards throughout the design phase.
  • It also covers areas limited to the ammonia-fuelled engine and the external piping systems.
  • It also provides technical guidance regarding the ship’s design and the provision of technical materials, in accordance with regulatory rules, procedures, and guidelines.

World’s First Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) Boxship Retrofitting Trials Begin!

According to a riviera maritime media report, a German-led initiative will use a container ship as the first vessel globally to run on synthetic natural gas (SNG) derived from renewable energy

What is it?

MAN Energy Solutions and Wessels Marine GmbH have announced a technical showcase whereby the 2017-LNG retrofitted Wes Amelie, a 1,036-teu feeder container ship, will use liquefied SNG produced from renewable electrical energy as drop-in fuel.

Climate Neutral SNG To Be Used

To demonstrate that SNG...

Asian Engine Designers Offer More Options for Aspiring LNG Users

  • LNG though being used in four-stroke engines for many years, there are advances to be made.
  • M23G engine meets IMO Tier III NOx emission limits without after-treatment.
  • SMDERI aims allowing operators to run purely on gas, and measures to broaden the range of gas fuels it can use is widened.
  • Onboard gas reformer converts propane-based LPG into substitute natural gas, that can be used in the dual-fuel engines.
  • LPG though readily available than LNG, the variability of the component gases (mainly...

MAN to Retrofit Hapag’s Container Vessel to LNG

MAN Energy Solutions has signed a contract for the conversion of a 15,000 TEU container vessel to dual-fuel operation, says an article published in Green Car Congress.

Retrofit to dual-fuel operation

The container vessel MV SAJIR owned by Hapag-Lloyd, serves a route from Asia to northern Europe via the Suez canal.

The pilot project will entail the conversion of an existing, HFO-burning MAN B&W 9S90ME-C engine to a dual-fuel MAN B&W ME-GI (Gas Injection) prime mover capable of running on HFO and...

Bringing Fresh Air To The Ship Power Puzzle

  • Wind energy touted to be future of ship propulsion with MAN developing an ammonia two-stroke engine.
  • Ammonia makes efficient use of electricity than making either liquefied or compressed hydrogen.
  • 600-MW windfarm with a 200-MW ammonia plant could generate around 24 tonnes an hour, enough to fuel three and a half mid-sized container ships with 20 MW engines.
  • Experts predict that by 2029 there could be the potential to fuel nearly 19,000 mid-sized container ships with wind-sourced ammonia.
