Highlights:
More stringent emission regulations in ECAs mean that alternatives to today’s heavy oil/gasoil cargo ship operation are increasingly being looked at. These include propulsion systems using gaseous fuels.
Considerable emission reductions are possible using LNG propulsion:
- 90% NOx reduction
- up to 20% reduction in CO2
- negligible SOx and particle emissions
- engines with duel fuel or pure gas are conceivable
- considerable effects on ship design to be considered
- different ship concepts have already been produced by FSG
- the illustrations show the example of a RoPax ferry
- detailed issues including safety analysis and ventilation have already been thoroughly considered
- studies right through to the simulation of dynamic manoeuvering procedures have been carried out to maximise customer benefit
- FSG already has the competence to handle this future technology
- custom-made solutions can be created promptly as needed
- strategic co-operation with respected system builders ensures overall quality
FSG is taking part in the GasPax and Paxel as well as other research projects to further expand systems competence.
