5 5 OPERATOR’s DILEMMA
Choice of fuel type after year 2020:
LNG
Fuel Oil with up to 0,5% Sulfur
Fuel Oil with more than 0,5% Sulfur + Scrubbers
6 6 LNG RETROFIT CONCEPT DESIGN
RO-PAX “SUPERFAST I” – ATTICA GROUP
Builder : Nuovi Cantieri Apuania, Hull Number 1240
Main design features (in collaboration with N.A.P. Engineering):
o Two (2) separate tanks, Type C. Dimensions: diam 4,8m, length 26m, total capacity 646m3.
o Position of the tanks: Aft open area on Deck 4.
o Loss of cargo capacity: approximately 7 to 8 (16.5) trailers.
o Assumed LNG bunkering frequency: Every round trip voyage
o 9 – 12 months actual equipment construction and delivery to yard.
o 2 – 3 months installation onboard

9 LNG New Building
Task: Detailed design for an innovative Ro/Pax ferry: Attica Newbuilding & Operations Dept : Concept design & requirements NAP ENGINEERING: Initial / Basic Design HeLeNGi ENGINEERING: LNG Design Kit Lloyds Register: Documentation Approval
Deliverable: Report on LNG as fuel on new building design Progress: Started beginning of September 2016
10 LNG New Building
Detailed design for an innovative Ro/Pax ferry:
LNG GASS BOTTLE
A new breed of Ro/Pax Ferry that will incorporate LNG as marine fuel, environmental friendly solutions and ECO hull shape that will optimize the resistance.
11 LNG New Building
Innovation:
Dual fuel (LNG + MGO)
ECO Hull & Propeller design
Solar Panels on shelter
Low Consumption
60% More cargo capacity (from previous gen. BS Delos)
Compliance with Safe Return To Port (SRTP) regulation
EEDI requirements (Phase II)
12 CONCLUSIONS
Facts regarding the use of LNG as marine fuel : Capital costs are considerably higher (+ 7 - 10% for new-building vessels)
Shortage of qualified crews
Need for Infrastructure development (LNG bunkering ports, bunkering vessels, safety considerations, legal framework, survey systems)
Unknown factors : Future pricing of LNG vs. Fuel Oil
How can LNG be widely adopted as marine fuel ? Price of LNG < Fuel Oil
