Essential equipment

摘要

This issue of Solutions focuses on innovations in passenger shipping. Two fascinating 'firsts' are discussed at length. Lopez Mena (page 22) is the world's first highspeed passenger ro-ro to run on LNG, and the performance of this dual-fuel vessel could influence the enthusiasm for LNG in the sector. Elsewhere our notable newbuilding Tanit (page 36) combines exceptional speed and interior style with a structured approach to safe operation: it's the first passenger vessel to have been officially certified to the IMO's Safe Return to Port requirements.
