First Two-Stroke Gas Engines for Li Carriers

摘要

Teekay LNG Partners has ordered two 173,400m~3 LNG carriers from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, in Korea. The vessels will each have two MAN Diesel & Turbo ME-GI dual fuel, ultra long two-stroke gas injection engines. These engines received DNV type approval in 2010 and their use as part of an innovative propulsion package is claimed to give significant fuel savings when compared to propulsion commonly used for LNG carriers today.
