Germany Orders LNG Fueled Research Ship
worked closely with the Fassmer shipyard and are proud to have once again been selected to supply the machinery and equipment for this important project.” Kai Twest, Head of Ships and Equipment Division at BSH, said, “As the new Atair will be the first vessel in our fleet with LNG technology, we rely on the experience and expertise of Wärtsilä with respect to the engines and LNG tank equipment. With Wärtsilä's dual-fuel and SCR technologies, the vessel will fulfill the IMO's Tier III regulations in all operational conditions, whether sailing on LNG or on diesel
Unmanned FLNG: ‘The Future of LNG Technology’
, the concept demonstrates how technological advances – most of the technology already within reach - can be combined into a solution that offers some 20 percent reduction in annual OPEX, only adding a few percent increase in CAPEX and at the same time increase the overall safety. FLNG technology is developing rapidly as part of the industry’s quest for resources in more remote waters, DNV GL noted. A number of concepts have been discussed, but only a few are currently under construction, as many oil and gas companies have experienced double-digit growth in both capital and operational

, Transport) and KAIA (Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement) and involves 80 institutions with more than 600 researchers. KOGAS was appointed project co-ordinator and host in 2008. The vision of the LNG Plant R&D initiative is to reduce Korea’s reliance on overseas LNG technology and equipment and to instigate the creation of local capability to meet a growing export market. In particular, the initiative recognised the potential synergy with the strong Korean ship building industry to meet the future demand for LNG FPSOs. The Korean government is sponsoring LNG plant

;s initiatives. The environmental and economic advantages of using LNG as a marine propulsion fuel are immeasurable. Use of LNG will reduce emissions of NOx and CO2 by approximately 85% and 25% respectively. Our combined initiative with leaders in their respective fields aims to implement LNG technology at our yard and develop appropriate facilities thereby encouraging the commercial use of the technology.” “Wärtsilä and Drydocks World share the same mission of providing environmental friendly solutions to the marine industry. Our years of experience
