| Abstract |
The proposal aims to retrofit a high-speed craft (HSC) ropax vessel so that it will be fuelled by a mix of 75% LNG and 25% diesel. The prototype will be the first case in the world of a retrofitted HSC ropax vessel that maintains all the features needed in the liner service where the ship is deployed whilst increasing service quality. The Action will support the definition of environmental indicators for LNG retrofitted vessels, the definition of bunkering technical solutions, the control of methane emission release to the atmosphere for the LNG retrofitted vessels and the selection of shipyards where the LNG prototype vessel will be retrofitted. The technological solutions that will be applied to the HSC ropax vessel will prove that using LNG as a marine fuel for the HSC fleet is possible as the vessel will maintain carrying capacity, sea-keeping, and speed, and the space needed for the engine installation will be kept to a minimum. |
