   据世界天然气网8月9日消息 日本液化石油气贸易商和进口商Astomos能源公司宣布,将于本月晚些时候启用液化石油气(LPG)动力的超大型燃气船(VLGC)。

  该船由同胞造船厂川崎重工(KHI)在其Sakaide造船厂建造。新加坡船东Kumiai Navigation将为Astomos运营84229立方米的VLGC。

  该船长299米,宽37.2米,将配备KHI的双燃料液化石油气发动机,可使用加压液化石油气和燃油。

  该公司指出,与燃油相比,液化石油气作为燃料预计将减少约20%的二氧化碳排放量,以及约90%的硫氧化物和颗粒物。

  为了响应国际海事组织2050年零排放目标,Astomos几年来一直在考虑将液化石油气燃料油轮引入其VLGC船队。

  该公司指出:“我们将继续从重油船舶转向液化石油气燃料船舶,作为可能的解决方案之一,并促进其他环保船队的发展。”

  最近,该公司签署了一项协议,从石油巨头壳牌公司购买碳中和液化石油气。

  Japan’s first LPG-fuelled VLGC soon to enter service

  Japanese LPG trader and importer Astomos Energy Corporation has announced that it will bring the liquified petroleum gas (LPG)-powered very large gas carrier (VLGC) into operation later this month.

  The vessel is being built by compatriot shipbuilder Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) at its Sakaide shipyard. Singapore-based shipowner Kumiai Navigation will operate the 84,229 cbm VLGC for Astomos.

  The ship is 299 meters long, 37.2 meters wide and will be equipped with KHI’s dual-fuel LPG engine which can run on both pressurized LPG and fuel oil.

  LPG as a fuel is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by about 20%, and sulfur oxides, particulate matter by about 90% in comparison with fuel oil, the company noted.

  Astomos has been considering introducing LPG-fueled tankers into its VLGC fleet for a few years, in response to the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 zero-emission targets.

  “We will continue to switch from heavy oil vessels to LPG-fuelled vessels as one of the possible solutions and promote other environmentally friendly fleet development,” the company pointed out.

  Recently, the company signed an agreement to purchase carbon-neutral LPG from oil major Shell.
