Happy New Year! Welcome to the winter edition where we spotlight some exciting 2016 year end news and a look ahead to 2017.
On this page you can read about the multilateral development of the world’s first liquid propane gas (LPG)-fueled ferry using a GE Combined Gas Turbine, Electric and Steam (COGES) system. We also signed an agreement to jointly develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier design to be COGES-powered (see page 3).
There is diverse military marine news to share on pages 4 and 5. Included is an update on the selection of our LM2500 marine gas turbine for another new international stealth frigate project, and the delivery of the United States Navy’s first new DDG destroyer in four years.
Please note on page 5, we have a new member of our GE marine gas turbine team, and on page 6 we’ve listed the trade shows where we will exhibit in 2017. I always encourage you to stop by for a face-to-face with our marine gas turbine experts.

Multilateral Development of Gas Turbine, LPG-Fueled Ferry DesignLate in 2016, GE signed a multilateral memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the joint development of a LPG-fueled ferry design. The ferry will feature GE’s compact and lightweight COGES system for all ship power, including propulsion. This will be the first LPG-fueled COGES ship.
The new ferry design is expected to improve safety and efficiency while reducing nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide emissions, meeting regulatory standards of the International Maritime Organization. The ferry’s operational expenses also will decrease by 35%. Therefore, the newly developed ferry is expected to deliver economic value and eco-friendliness that global markets require today.
Participating in the MOU signing in Busan, Korea, were representatives from Youngsung Global, DINTEC, Korea LPG Industry Association, GE, Far East Ship Design & Engineering Co. (FESDEC), and Cryos. FESDEC is handling the ferry design, and Cryos brings extensive experience in designing and manufacturing LPG fuel tanks.

According to GE’s Brien Bolsinger, “There is increased attention worldwide on LPG as a viable fuel for the maritime industry, and we are excited to collaborate on this ferry project. The compact COGES arrangement—lighter and smaller than comparable four-stroke diesel engines— will allow for more passengers. Owners, operators, designers and shipyards will see that the COGES system also offers lower life cycle costs.”
Youngsung Global CEO Bumsu Ku said, “The new eco-friendly LPG-fueled ferry will operate the Incheon-Jeju and other international passenger routes. Also, with the use of LPG, we expect to save on operational costs and contribute to reducing our global environmental footprint.”
Korea LPG Industry Association Chairman Joonsuk Hong said, “The LPG-fueled ferry to be developed through collaboration between GE and LPG-related technology companies will contribute to the growth of Korea’s LPG and shipping industries. In addition, it will be a good opportunity to use Korea’s existing LPG bunkering infrastructure.”
FESDEC CEO Jungkang In said, “We are happy to participate in the development of the world’s first LPG-fueled COGES-powered ferry. We will design a ferry that offers stability, efficiency and economic value.” Cryos CEO Daesung Kim also said,“Based on our expertise in manufacturing LPG fuel tanks, we will collaborate with GE to build a world-class LPG-fueled ferry.”

Gas Turbine Experience and Benefits
The same gas turbines are used by 35 navies worldwide for defense; now commercial marine customers can experience the benefits of this propulsion system solution. GE has delivered 90 gas turbines for commercial applications such as cruise ships, eight of which feature COGES arrangements. Other commercial marine applications include fast cargo ships, high-speed yachts, offshore platforms, and floating production and offloading ships.
The compact COGES arrangement—fully 80% lighter and 30% smaller than comparable two-stroke diesels—will allow for increased carrying capability. The COGES system also offers customers lower life cycle costs, negligible lubricating oil consumption, no methane slip and no pilot fuel or exhaust treatment required.
Maintenance is also easy since little is required with COGES; only about 300 man-hours per year while the ship is underway. When more extensive maintenance is required, the entire turbine can be removed and replaced within 24 hours, reducing downtime and enabling maintenance to be carried out with minimal interruption to ship operations.
GE LM2500 marine gas turbine
GE and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. (HZ) have received Approval in Principle (AIP) from the ABS for a jointly developed LNG carrier design to be powered by GE’s COGES system.
With AIP in hand from ABS, customers can now procure this 178,000 cubic-meter LNG carrier design capable of meeting Tier III International Maritime Organization and Tier 4 United States Environmental Protection Agency emissions requirements today.
“Thanks to the compact and lightweight attributes of GE’s COGES arrangement, customers can realize an additional 4,000 cubic meters of LNG cargo space versus a traditional 174,000-cubic meter LNG carrier powered by dual fuel diesel engines,” said HZ President Chen Jun. “Also, since the GE gas turbine is dual fuel capable, it can operate either on the carrier’s cargo of boil off gas or on Marine Gas Oil to provide for all power and propulsion.”

“New technologies and innovations are essential ingredients for sustainable growth of the marine industry and protection of our natural environment,” says Bill Shi, ABS Vice President of Engineering, Greater China Division. “By evaluating this new design concept jointly developed by Hudong-Zhonghua and GE and granting this milestone AIP, we acknowledge that the eco-friendly propulsion system is in compliance in principle with the requirements of the ABS standards and international regulations. We are pleased to be an integral part of this joint development project with a great potential to reduce exhaust emissions.”
Shown below is the COGES system applied on the design of the HZ LNG carrier. The COGES system will feature one GE LM2500-family gas turbine generator, one heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and one steam turbine generator. It will be capable of burning LNG boil off gas (BOG) or Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

GE Gas Turbines for India’s New Stealth FrigateGE LM2500 gas turbines will power the Indian Navy’s next-generation P17A stealth frigate. Thanks to GE’s in-country partner Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Industrial and Marine Gas Turbine division, Bangalore, India, who will provide the LM2500s under license from GE.
The Indian Navy once again chose GE’s reliable LM2500 gas turbines, now for the P17A frigate -
- a follow-on to the Shivalik-class P17 program. HAL already has
delivered 11 LM2500 gas turbines to the Indian Navy, including those that power three P17 frigates.
HAL will assemble and test the LM2500 gas turbines prior to installation; HAL is licensed by GE to do so for Indian Navy LM2500 propulsion applications.
Separately, four GE LM2500 gas turbines will power the Indian Navy’s P-71 Indigenous Aircraft Carrier that is expected to be delivered by the end of 2018. Vikrant will be the Indian Navy’s first indigenously built aircraft carrier; it was launched in August 2013.
