Future container feeder - solution
• A gas-fuelled container feeder is
currently developed to meet the
outlined challenges.
• The vessel will use LNG as fuel in a
dual-fuel MAN 51/60 engine.
• The range of the vessel is about 10
days of full operation.
• The LNG tanks are arranged in the
aftmost cargo hold (which reduces
TEU capacity by 3%).

GL contribution to Gas as Ship Fuel
•
•
Gas as fuel needs similar technology as gas
as cargo
• Same tank systems as GL gas tankers
• Similar technologies for gas plant
• Same engines (MAN 51/60 DF type
approved by GL)
GL is in the lead with regard to rule
requirement
• Major contribution to IGF Guideline
(MSC-286-86) (on behalf of BMVBS)
• Active participation on IGC-Code
revision
• Setting of requirements for IGF-Code
together with German Yards, Suppliers
and Owners (MW, FSG, FLW, TGE,
Aida, MAN)
