Future-proof four-stroke engines for the LNG cargo sector​

With the goal of reducing carbon emissions in mind, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is rapidly gaining importance as a transition fuel on the road to net zero. This is increasing the demand for LNG carriers (LNGCs), floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) and floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) plants.
While demand for vessels in the LNG supply chain is high, so are the standards that these vessels must meet. Not only do they have to answer many safety concerns, they must also operate efficiently to stay profitable while complying with the strict IMO environmental regulations.
The Everllence (former MAN Energy Solutions) LNG cargo four-stroke portfolio opens up a range of benefits to meet the requirements for future-proof LNG solutions:

Higher load capacity and lower fuel costs with Dual-Fuel, Electric+ 
The new Dual-Fuel, Electric+ (DFE+) propulsion concept for LNG carriers combines ABB’s Dynamic AC power distribution and control system with the highly efficient 49/60DF engine. For your vessel this results in less machinery space requirements, more cargo capacity and lots of energy to be saved.

Compliant with methane slip regulations and CO2 emissions
The 35/44DF CD meets the demand of a reduced methane slip with innovative solutions like optimized methane combustion. This cuts the slippage by up to 85% compared to current industry standards. Meanwhile the very efficient 49/60DF’s CO2 balance sheet is unmatched and is set to meet the highest compliance standards well into 2035. 

Low operational costs and high efficiency
Thanks to the 35/44DF CD’s high power density your vessel will need fewer gensets on board. It does not only mean lower CAPEX but also lower OPEX due to the gain in fuel efficiency. In this regard the 49/60DF has set a new benchmark with its output of 1300kW per cylinder.
