ABDOMINAL has actually presented an ‘Alternative Fuel Ready’ technique to assist shipowners prepare their fleets for the intro of alternate gas.
Introduced with the freshly released Guide for Gas and also Other Low-Flashpoint Fuel Ready Vessels, the brand-new technique is the most up to date payment from ABDOMINAL to aid the market with the fostering of brand-new gas innovations.
The overview is developed to sustain shipowners seeking to construct a brand-new vessel or transform an existing one to utilize LNG, methanol, ethane, LPG, hydrogen, ammonia and also various other gases or low-flashpoint gas. Already an arising fad, use low-flashpoint gas is anticipated to enhance substantially as the market addresses IMO 2030 and also 2050 targets.

“The decision to build a new ship or convert an existing one to use gas or other low-flashpoint fuels is complex, due to the many technical and commercial challenges that need to be faced during the design of the vessel and all the associated systems. This guide introduces the concept of ‘Alternative Fuel Ready’, which allows shipowners to plan their future fleets to adapt to the evolving regulatory and technological landscape,” stated Gareth Burton, ABDOMINAL Vice President,Technology “This is just one of the ways ABS is supporting the industry through the challenging transition to low carbon operations. Our industry-leading range of guidance is informed by our extensive experience and backed by our global network of technical experts and sustainability support located in key shipping centers.”
Uniquely, the overview, which changes the Guide for LNG Fuel Ready Vessels, sustains proprietors seeking to appoint traditionally powered vessels that are ‘Alternative Fuel Ready’- developed to be efficient in adjustment to low-flashpoint gas at a future day.
The overview, which likewise presents a series of ‘Alternative Fuel Ready’ symbols, specifies a program of 3 degrees of alternate gas preparedness with principle, style and also installment. The technique determines the vital technological problems to aid proprietors, developers, and also shipyards in establishing vessels efficient in low-flashpoint gas procedures.
