The first supply/cargo vessel to be fuelled by LNG.
DOF newbuildings
Following three years of development the time has now come to commission the world's first gas-driven supply ship. The ship is an important part of the work on limiting emissions from the maritime industry.
The naming ceremony took place in Bergen Harbour on Friday April 25th at 17:00
The godmother is the city governor of Bergen, Mrs. Anne-Grete Erichsen.
The Norwegian shipping company Eidesvik AS took the initiative for, and headed the development of the gas-driven ship concept in close cooperation with Statoil. The project comprises two ships, where Eidesvik AS and Simon Mokster Shipping AS will own and operate one ship each. Both ships will be on a ten-year charter for Statoil. This innovation is attracting considerable attention in the industry both in Norway and internationally.
The new concept is that natural gas (LNG) is employed as a fuel. Natural gas is an abundant resource in Norway and the country exports large quantities through pipelines to Europe. But use of the gas in Norway has been moderate up to now.
Making a commitment to emission-free ships
Eidesvik sees that the environmental technology can be further developed. "We see that the next generation of gas-driven ships probably can be simplified and made cheaper. The development of this vessel has also put us on the track of technology that can further reduce emissions," says Managing Director Simon Eidesvik. Using gas reduces emissions of CO2 by about 20 per cent and NOx by about 85 per cent. There are no emissions of sulphurous gases. By replacing the engines with fuel-cell generators there will be no emissions of NOx, and CO2 emissions can be halved in relation to diesel operation. By using hydrogen as an energy source instead of LNG, the emission of CO2 will also cease.
"The shipping company's objective is to develop ships with this technology and assessments have been started.
It will probably take some years before hydrogen ships are launched, and we believe that gas-driven ships will be a necessary intermediate stage so that the industry can become accustomed to the use of gas," says Simon Eidesvik.
Eidesvik is nominated for the Thor Heyerdahl International Environmental Award for this work.
