Singapore- headquartered BW LPG records that its Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) BW Gemini has actually begun a week-long collection of sea as well as gas tests.
The ship is the very first VLGC to be retrofitted with introducing LPG dual-fuel propulsion innovation as well as has actually accomplished a historical turning point as the globe’s very first VLGC to be sustained by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), with the retrofitted primary engine working on LPG as well as changing to standard gas perfectly.
The retrofitting procedure at the Yiu Lian Dockyard shipyard in Shenzhen, China, took around 60 days. Earlier this year BW LPG claimed it intended to retrofit 8 of its ships in a procedure that consists of transforming their MALE B&W 6G60ME-C9.2 HFO-burning engines to 6G60ME-C9.5- LGIP LPG-fueled dual-fuel engines.
