Using LNG as a fuel can offer a practical and economic solution for the ship operator. Operating a ship using a fuel in a gas state requires integration of the entire chain from shipside bunkering, storage, conditioning and delivery to the engine and its conversion into power. Within a period of a few weeks, builders of dual fuel engines Wärtsilä and MAN have published their own solutions to this question. Both systems allow the ship owner to deliver/complete dual fuel with LNG propulsion system from one manufacturer and have the reassurance that the entire system is compatible including bunkering and on board storage.
