Up to now, LNG use has been limited to smaller vessels
operating instead short runs due to the large of fuel tanks needed and the few
bunkering services available. Because of this, most advancement has centered in
north Europe where some LNG bunkering capability was established for your
offshore oil industry and native ferry businesses several years ago. This year
Sweden’s Tarbit Shipping positioned its LNG-burning product tanker Bit Viking in
service across the Norwegian coast after repowering the 25, 000-dwt deliver with
Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines. Last year the planets first LNG-powered
coaster, the two, 650-dwt fish food service provider Høydal, also began working
off Norway. At the same time Stavanger-based Island Offshore christened the
actual 96-meter-long Island Crusader since the world’s first PSV to make use of
fully dedicated LNG-burning primary engines. Earlier this year Finland’s Viking
Line began functioning the 56, 000-gt luxury cruise ferry Viking Grace among
Turku and Stockholm utilizing dual-fuel main engines burning up LNG as the
dominant energy. Later this year Buksér samt Berging AS of Norway will certainly
place the world’s first LNG-fueled tugboats into operation in Norwegian
ports.
