IR and Nantong COSCO KHI to develop LNG fuelled MPV

摘要

Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering (NACKS) and Lloyd's Register China have agreed to the joint development of an LNG-fuelled 28 OOOdwt type motor general multi-purpose vessel (MPV) design, built to Lloyd's Register's requirements, that will meet current and future environmental targets. This new ship design project will incorporate new propulsion systems (dual/ triple-fuelled) and will meet new operational requirements. This design will be an evolution of NACKS' most recent 28K MPV design. Lloyd's Register will be applying its risk methodology for novel technology processes, which provides a pathway through the complexity of the technical risk assessment. The goal is for LR to issue an approval in principle (AIP) for the new design including approval of the LNG as fuel systems.
