LNG-powered bulk carrier premieres use of high manganese steel

摘要

Global demand for LNG is increasing. LNG is an environmentally friendly source of energy and the number of shipbuilding orders for large-sized LNG carriers for transportation is on the rise. At the same time, the use of LNG for marine fuel has emerged as one of the most feasible methods of complying with the regulations in MARPOL Annex VI regarding air pollutants in ships' exhaust gas. As a result, the construction of LNG-fuelled ships is increasing while LNG vessels and offshore structures, including LNG bunkering ships, small and medium sized LNG carriers and LNG bunkering terminals continue to be developed.
