What are the issues being considered when making this important selection during the ship design process, and how are ship owners and designers working together with the engine manufacturers, to ensure that the right solution is delivered for their vessel.
Programme

16:35 – 17:15 Introducing LNG as fuel onboard non-LNG carriers from a designer & consultant’s perspective by Kim Nørby Christensen, Knud E. Hansen A/S
In the recent years introducing LNG in favor of HFO and diesel has gained attraction by ship owner’s performing regional operations, in particular for the ferry segment. Today, a great part of the designs are carried out by Knud E. Hansen A/S implement LNG.
Implementing LNG as fuel is among the biggest impacts to the technical design in decades. Not as much because of the gas itself, but because of the required space and in particular the HAZID based regulation that needs to mature into an operational tool for the designer, allowing the designer to present a firm design to the client. The presentation will elaborate about how introducing LNG has impacted the designs at Knud E. Hansen A/S.
