LNG dual-fuel tugs begin operations in Hong Kong Terminal

A pair of dual fuel (diesel and LNG) RAstar 4200-DF standby vessels have recently entered service with Hongkong Salvage & Towage (HKST), according to naval architect company Robert Allan Ltd recently.

Built by Cheoy Lee Shipyards, LNG Sentinel I and LNG Sentinel II were specifically designed for service at the Hong Kong LNG Terminal Limited (HKLTL) import terminal.

Featuring a unique electrical propulsion system with Z-drives that can receive power from both diesel and dual fuel (diesel and LNG) propulsion gensets, these vessels will help maintain a safety zone around the terminal and assist with berthing of LNG carriers to the jetty. 

They will also transport personnel plus equipment between Hong Kong and the floating regasification and storage unit (FSRU) and jetty. Their standby duties may include emergency towing of the FSRU, fire-fighting, spill response, and rescue.

Working closely with both HKST and Cheoy Lee Shipyards through the design process was key to enabling Robert Allan to design this vessel pair that are customised for the missions for which they will be tasked.

These vessels are the 8th and 9th LNG dual fuel tugs completed to five different Robert Allan designs, with three classification societies, and for service on three continents.

Filtration company LiqTech International on Thursday (25 July) said it has entered into a partnership agreement with and Danbee Marine, a South Korean-based maritime representative to the shipping industry, to market LiqTech's marine scrubber water treatment solutions within South Korea.

Established in 2009, Danbee Marine, has been focused on delivering fuel treatment chemicals to reduce fuel consumption and emissions within the Korean maritime market. 

“Danbee Marine has a strong presence and foothold with major ship owners and shipyards with a deep insight into marine engineering and equipment. The addition of LiqTech's compact and efficient marine scrubber water treatment system offering is a synergistic extension of their existing product offerings,” LiqTech said in a statement. 

According to LiqTech, its marine scrubber water treatment system for both closed-loop and hybrid scrubbers “outperforms discharge limits regulated by the IMO Marpol VI”. 

LiqTech's solutions remove unburned fuel oil, soot particles, ash, and heavy metals from marine scrubber wastewater and take an active role in reducing world pollution. 

Since LiqTech's first marine installations in 2017, the company has successfully installed retrofit and new-build marine scrubber water treatment systems on more than 170 large commercial ships for many global ship owners. 

“Furthermore, ship owners have gained tremendous fuel savings leveraging LiqTech's water treatment units, providing for enhanced ROI,” the firm said. 

“We are excited to expand our presence in the Korean ship building market through this partnership agreement with Danbee Marine who has a strong network in the South Korea marine market,” said Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech International. 

“As the second largest ship building market in the world, we have had a presence with a small number of key customers, including Hyundai Merchant Marine over the years, but have lacked the large-scale presence across a wide variety of ship builders that Danbee can provide.”

“I look forward to working with the capable team at Danbee to deliver our advanced and proven marine scrubber water treatment solutions to help ship owners and ship builders in South Korea fulfil regulatory requirements.”
