The first GL-classed vessel with LNG as ship fuel
25.000 DWT product tanker “Bit Viking” has been converted to run on LNG. The vessel is owned by Tarbit Shipping and operated by Statoil.
Main engines are dual fuel engines from Wärtsilä. The vessel has a range of 12 days with 2*500 m3 LNG-tanks. She operates using LNG as fuel since Oct. 2011.

Bunkering LNG Ship to Ship – the future
Bunkering gas as fuel for ships – BunGas
• release of LNG must be prevented (extremely unlikely)
by technical and organizational solutions to establish a
reliable technology.
• Volume limitation of possible gas releases
• Reduction of failure frequency
• Training of crew
• development of bunker vessel and bunker requirements

LNG as ship fuel for container vessels –
a new joint study by GL and MAN
GL and MAN teamed up in late 2010 to jointly develop a roadmap for container vessel advanced propulsion solutions, with the aim to support decision making.
The study compares a standard container vessel with advanced vessels using LNG as ship fuel, scrubber systems and waste heat recovery systems.
The standard vessel uses required fuels depending on time and location of its operation.
The same TIER III-related measures are assumed for all variants and, therefore, these have no effect on the cost differences between the standard vessel and the variants.
Lower earning due to space for LNG tanks, scrubbers and WHR is accounted for.
