DNV to partner with Siemens Energy, Moss Maritime and Fearnleys to develop a ground-breaking LNG vessel
DNV has announced to partner with Siemens Energy, Moss Maritime and Fearnleys to develop a ground-breaking LNG vessel that will be powered by a hybrid combined-cycle power and propulsion plant.
The Ocean Green system has been created using the BlueVault energy storage solution that combines a gas turbine and a steam turbine to power the vessel. Studies undertaken by DNV have found that the Ocean Green system will result in an equivalent CO2 reduction of approximately 11-18% and reduce the unit freight cost by approximately 9-17% compared to today’s LNG carriers and their current market operational profiles.
Martin Cartwright, Business Director – Gas Carriers & FSRUs, DNV Maritime, believes that it is a crucial step in mapping out the next generation of gas carriers.
“Maritime transport continues to play an essential role in building up energy security, which is expected to lead to increasing demand for innovative solutions such as the Ocean Green concept.”
