Schiffstechnik | Ship Technology Gas fueled ships on the rise From the fleet value perspective, LNG tankers make by far the most valuable segment of LNG-fuelled ships (271 ships worth 45.4 bn $), container vessels are next with 30 units worth 3.1 bn $, followed by 44 tankers valued at 1.1 bn $. When it comes to engine types, dual-fuel engines still account for the largest number of installed and ordered units with 207 systems installed and 94 on order. DF-engines are followed by MEGI high pressure systems with 33 installed and 47 on order. While gas fueled ships in service account for only 0.5% of the total fleet, their value is at 4.9%. In the fleet on order, gas fueled ships account for 4.6% in number of vessels and 14% in value. Looking at the total fleet (live and on order), LNG vessels take a 6.5% share of the overall value at only 0.8% in total number. A look at vessel delivery schedules reveals that so-called »eco« ships have taken the lead in 2015. While still more noneco than eco ships were ordered in 2018, this picture appears to have changed significantly from 2019 onwards. n in cooperation with Vessels Using LNG Vessels Fueled Vessels Using Engines LNG Using Fueled (live LNG and Engines Fueled on order) Engines (live and (live on order) and on order) by Value USD Millions by Value by USD Value Millions USD Millions LPG LPG LPG 14 14 14 Container Container Tanker Container 8 Tanker Tanker 8 8 30 30 44 30 44 44 ,126 ,126 ,137 ,126 Multigas ,137 9 ,137 Multigas 9 Multigas 9 3 3 3 350 300 ,439 LNG Fueled Engine Types LNG LNG Fueled Engine Types LNG 271 271 ,439 LNG 271 ,439 OSV 19 2 Bulker 12 2 OSV 19 2 Bulker 12 2 OSV 19 2 Bulker 12 2 Number of Vessels 94 250 200 150 94 OCV 1 Small Dry 3 OCV 1 Small Dry 3 OCV 1 Small Dry 3 100 207 207 50 0 47 3,000 2,500 3,000 47 33 8 1 6 2 5 DFDE (Gas and FO) MEGI (Gas and FO) High Pressure ME-LGI Dual Fuel (Gas with liquid back 1 2 up) Low Pressure 33 8 6 5 DFDE (Gas and FO) MEGI (Gas and FO) High Pressure Live ME-LGI Number of Vessels Dual On Fuel Order (Gas Number with liquid of Vessels back up) Low Pressure Live Number of Vessels Delivery Schedule of Eco vs. Non-Eco Engine Vessels On Order Number of Vessels Delivery Schedule of Eco vs. Non-Eco Engine Vessels Gas Gas Number of Number Vessels of Vessels 2,000 2,500 1,500 2,000 1,000 1,500 1,000 500 5000 0 Eco Non Eco 56 HANSA International Maritime Journal – 155.

Schiffstechnik | Ship Technology Spotlight on new ships © Nauticor World’s largest LNG bunker vessel The LNG bunker supply vessel »Kairos« has been delivered from the shipyard in South Korea to its main area of operation in Northwest Europe. At an LNG capacity of 7,500 m³, the ship is expected to be operational before the end of the year. The vessel was ordered by Babcock Schulte Energy (BSE), a 50:50 joint venture between Babcock and Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM). The first cut of steel for the Gas Supply Vessel (GSV) was completed in November 2017 at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea. The ship is time chartered to Nauticor and will service a number of clients in the Baltic region including the Linde/AGA terminal in Nynäshamn and the Klaipėda LNG fuelling station in Lithuania. Capable of performing both ship-to-ship bunkering and transhipment operations, she will be used for the LNG fuelling of ships including ferries, containers, cruise vessels and other shore-based gas consumers. Equipped with Babcock’s Fuel Gas Supply Vessel Zero (FGSV0) technology – a scalable cargo handling and fuelling solution complete with compressed natural gas storage and utilisation capabilities – »Kairos« will eliminate the release of boil-off and flash gas to the atmosphere during normal operations providing an environmentally responsible shipping alternative, the owner says. A novel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) system is used to store vaporising gas from the bunkering vessel and the returned boil-off gas from the LNG-fuelled vessel. It is compressed up to 220 bar(g), stored in two sets of 40’ containers and used for propulsion fuel and electric. Furthermore, the new GSV circumvents the IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention as it only has a little quantity of fresh water on board which is only used for trim purposes and does not leave the ship. Nauticor has set up a new joint venture called Blue LNG to charter the vessel. Nauticor holds 90% of Blue LNG, partner Klaipedos Nafta holds the remaining 10%. Mahinde Abeynaike, CEO of Nauticor, emphasizes the crucial role of the LNG bunker ship for LNG supply: »The arrival of ›Kairos‹ in the Baltic Sea will set a milestone for LNG as marine fuel. From now on, the supply of LNG as marine fuel to the Baltic Sea is largely assured. This is a major step towards sustainable and responsible shipping with a major impact on air and water quality.« fs Technical Details LOA: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 117 m Breadth: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 m Draught: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.3 m Crew: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . max. 20 Speed: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 kn Generator: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 DF gensets Propulsion: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 x azimuth thrusters, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2x pump jets Dynamic Positioning: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .DP2 ready LNG capacity: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7,500 m3 LNG tank: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Type C Pressure: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75 barg Hose diameter: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6 inch (4+8 opt.)
