Following the success of the LNGreen concept, a joint industry development project designed to create a state-of-the-art next generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, DNV GL has announced that a follow-up project will commence, building on the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the initial project.
The new project seeks to bring a ready-to-build concept to the market to realise the potential savings in actual operation using new technologies, improved integrated systems and machinery configurations.
Following on from the first LNGreen project, this new project will involve GTT, GasLog, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and DNV GL, who were all original partners in the project.
DNV GL Project Manager Daniel Nordås, commented: “The fact that all partners have agreed to contribute to continued innovation is a confirmation of the achievements in the first project and a proof of the positive cooperation between leading players in the industry. The mutual trust built over the course of the first project also forms a solid base to drive innovative solutions to the market for the benefit of builders, owners and operators.”
The project is due for completion by the end of this year.
