Liquefied natural gas-fuelled ferries project, Japan
Name of the Project
Liquefied natural gas- (LNG-) fuelled ferries project.
Location
The ferries will be built at the Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works, in Japan.
Project Owner/s
Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL).
Project Description
The project involves the construction of two LNG-fuelled ferries.
The ferries will be about 199.9 m long and 28 m wide, with gross tonnage of about 17 300 t.
They will have maximum prescribed capacity for 763 passengers, and carrying capacity for about 136 thirteen-metre trucks and 100 passenger cars.
The main power plant will be a high-performance dual-fuel engine able to operate on LNG and A-type heavy oil, the first for a Japanese ferry.
These engines will provide a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, compared with existing vessels, and virtually eliminate sulphur oxide emissions, reducing the environmental load.
