Bakker Sliedrecht and RH Marine are part of a maritime consortium that has received €24 million in government subsidy for research within the MENENS program.
Projects part of first industry transformation map to digitalise the maritime industry, and will support the effort of SGTraDex in data sharing across bunkering stakeholders.
Product receives China Classification Society certification for maritime applications; to become a complete zero-carbon emission solution for inland shipping.
MFMS shown to have delivered clear benefits in the face of measures taken in response to the pandemic, according to ExxonMobil and Bunkerspot research.
Design took into consideration ammonia’s toxicity, cargo containment system and bunkering system from Wartsila Gas Solutions and Trelleborg Westbury.
Contract includes a technical solution and electrical infra-structure which enable low voltage connection by other vessels outside the cruise season.
These two technologies could be combined to create zero-emission vessels, and bulk carriers could be particularly well suited due to their structure.
Increasing adoption of LNG as a bunker fuel has led to more natural gas fuelled ships being construction with independent Type C fuel tanks, it states.
Dual-fuel gas engines on the vessels are already compatible with renewable energies such as biomethane, synthetic methane and e-methane.
Upgrade is based on Wärtsilä’s adaptive combustion phasing control technology and works by marginally reducing the engine’s charge air pressure and lambda.
