Advanced LNG carrier with energy saving propulsion systems: two options.

Author(s) : OHIRA H., SUETAKE Y., OKA M.

Summary

Reduction of ocean transportation costs is a never-ceasing aim in the case of LNG transportation chain operations. To further this goal, such methods as enlarging the size of carriers to raise efficiency and reduction of fuel costs through the use of advanced plant systems are being studied around the world. In this paper, two options for low fuel cost propulsion systems that have been developed and their use for next-generation LNG carriers are presented.
