The Russian Sovcomflot (SCF Group) ordered two ice2 class LNG carriers last year with STX, S.Korea. The Atlantic-max carriers have capacity of 170,000 cubic meters using a reinforced membrane structure. Vessels of this capacity have a LOA of approximately 980 ft and beam of 150 ft. The vessels use a dual fuel electric propulsion system giving 19.5 kn comprising two 8L51/60DF engines of 8MW at 514 rpm and two 9L51/60DF engines of 9MW at 514 rpm. The engines will be built at the MAN Augsburg factory for delivery end 2012. [More]
