Description

In the field of LNG carrier, proven reliability has been regarded as the most important thing and safe operation has been kept as long as 40 years in the past. However, LNG trading is so remarkably expanding in the world that the increase of transport capacity of LNG is becoming an urgent job. As a result, (1) a marked increase in number of LNGC new-buildings, (2) newbuildings of Ultra-large LNGCs and (3) a wide variety of propulsion plants is rapidly starting just now. This paper describes these things, detailing economic evaluation of dual fuel diesel LNG carriers.
