Daewoo develops new LNG-fuelled propulsion system for tanker fleets

摘要

Considering that potential energy consumption of ocean-going vessels is twice as much as current world LNG production, the long-term potential of LNG demand by LNG-fuelled snips is immense. The LNG fuelled propulsion (LFP) system has distinct advantages in the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfuric oxide (SOx), which would be important especially in the emission control areas (ECAs). The capital cost of the LFP system may be recovered within three to 10 years depending on the applied LNG price, and the LFP system may bring substantial fuel-cost savings over time.
