Gas code cleared for entry into force

摘要

Since the service introduction 15 years ago of the Norwegian ferry Glutra, the worlds first LNG-fuelled vessel, the uptake of LNG in marine power and propulsion installations as a method of reducing polluting emissions has steadily gained momentum, albeit on a localised or regional basis. The latest developments for LNG fuelled vessels could come out of Korea with Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) having signed a deal that will see the yard collaborate with GE to develop the US company's gas turbine system known as COGES (Combined Gas turbine Electric and Steam).
