ShareReefer ships for the future.
Type of article: Periodical article
Summary
The article reports on a research project by Det Norske Veritas Classification on what reefer ships should look like in the future. The results suggest that a medium-speed plant with two (or more) engines can be profitable in a flexible operating scenario for a vessel with a high maximum speed requirement. In the next 5 years, plants will likely be indirect systems based on ammonia, with brine as the heat transfer fluid. In the longer term, carbon dioxide will be used instead of brime. The article also presents the equipment and technical solutions of different manufacturers.
