Winter 2017 Volume 11, Issue 1

Happy New Year! Welcome to the Multilateral Development of winter edition where we spotlight some exciting 2016 year end news Gas Turbine, LPG-Fueled and a look ahead to 2017. Ferry Design On this page you can read about the multilateral development of the world’s first liquid Late in 2016, GE signed a multilateral memorandum of propane gas (LPG)-fueled ferry using a GE Combined Gas understanding (MOU) for the joint development of a LPG- Turbine, Electric and Steam (COGES) system. We also fueled ferry design. The ferry will feature GE’s compact and signed an agreement to jointly develop a liquefied lightweight COGES system for all ship power, including natural gas (LNG) carrier design to be COGES-powered propulsion. This will be the first LPG-fueled COGES ship. (see page 3). The new ferry design is expected to improve safety and There is diverse military marine news to share on pages efficiency while reducing nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide 4 and 5. Included is an update on the selection of our emissions, meeting regulatory standards of the LM2500 marine gas turbine for another new International Maritime Organization. The ferry’s international stealth frigate project, and the delivery of operational expenses also will decrease by 35%. Therefore, the United States Navy’s first new DDG destroyer in four the newly developed ferry is expected to deliver economic years. value and eco-friendliness that global markets require today. Please note on page 5, we have a new member of our GE marine gas turbine team, and on page 6 we’ve listed the Participating in the MOU signing in Busan, Korea, were trade shows where we will exhibit in 2017. I always representatives from Youngsung Global, DINTEC, Korea LPG encourage you to stop by for a face-to-face with our Industry Association, GE, Far East Ship Design & marine gas turbine experts.

According to GE’s Brien Bolsinger, “There is increased attention worldwide on LPG as a viable fuel for the maritime industry, and we are excited to collaborate on this ferry project. The compact COGES arrangement—lighter and smaller than comparable four-stroke diesel engines— will allow for more passengers. Owners, operators, designers and shipyards will see that the COGES system also offers lower life cycle costs.”

Youngsung Global CEO Bumsu Ku said, “The new eco-friendly LPG-fueled ferry will operate the Incheon-Jeju and other international passenger routes. Also, with the use of LPG, we expect to save on operational costs and contribute to Shown above are representatives from the six companies involved in the LPG-fueled COGES ferry design at the MOU reducing our global environmental footprint.” signing in Busan, Korea, November 2016. Korea LPG Industry Association Chairman Joonsuk Hong said, “The LPG-fueled ferry to be developed through collaboration between GE and LPG-related technology companies will contribute to the growth of Korea’s LPG and shipping industries. In addition, it will be a good opportunity to use Korea’s existing LPG bunkering infrastructure.”

FESDEC CEO Jungkang In said, “We are happy to participate in the development of the world’s first LPG-fueled COGES- powered ferry. We will design a ferry that offers stability, efficiency and economic value.” Cryos CEO Daesung Kim also said, “Based on our expertise in manufacturing LPG fuel tanks, we will collaborate with GE to build a world-class LPG-fueled ferry.”

Gas Turbine Experience and Benefits GE LM2500 marine gas turbine The same gas turbines are used by 35 navies worldwide for defense; now commercial marine customers can experience the benefits of this propulsion system solution. GE has delivered 90 gas turbines for commercial applications such as cruise ships, eight of which feature COGES arrangements. Other commercial marine applications include fast cargo ships, high-speed yachts, offshore platforms, and floating production and offloading ships.

The compact COGES arrangement—fully 80% lighter and 30% smaller than comparable two-stroke diesels—will allow for increased carrying capability. The COGES system also offers customers lower life cycle costs, negligible lubricating oil consumption, no methane slip and no pilot fuel or exhaust treatment required.

Maintenance is also easy since little is required with COGES; only about 300 man-hours per year while the ship is underway. When more extensive maintenance is required, the entire turbine can be removed and replaced within 24 hours, reducing downtime and enabling maintenance to be carried out with minimal interruption to ship operations.

GE and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. (HZ) have received Approval in Principle (AIP) from the ABS “New technologies and innovations are essential for a jointly developed LNG carrier design to be powered ingredients for sustainable growth of the marine industry by GE’s COGES system. and protection of our natural environment,” says Bill Shi, ABS Vice President of Engineering, Greater China Division. With AIP in hand from ABS, customers can now procure “By evaluating this new design concept jointly developed by this 178,000 cubic-meter LNG carrier design capable of Hudong-Zhonghua and GE and granting this milestone AIP, meeting Tier III International Maritime Organization and we acknowledge that the eco-friendly propulsion system is Tier 4 United States Environmental Protection Agency in compliance in principle with the requirements of the ABS emissions requirements today. standards and international regulations. We are pleased to be an integral part of this joint development project with a “Thanks to the compact and lightweight attributes of GE’s great potential to reduce exhaust emissions.” COGES arrangement, customers can realize an additional 4,000 cubic meters of LNG cargo space versus a traditional Shown below is the COGES system applied on the design of 174,000-cubic meter LNG carrier powered by dual fuel the HZ LNG carrier.

GE is proud its LM2500 marine gas turbines power the first new construction Arleigh Burke-class ship to go to sea in over four years. John Finn is the 63rd Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the first of the DDG 51 Flight IIA restart ships. GE’s reliable LM2500 gas turbines will be used throughout this program to propel these new destroyers to speeds in excess of 30 knots.

To date, the U.S. Navy -- GE’s largest marine gas turbine customer -- has taken delivery of over 700 LM2500 engines operating aboard surface combatants such as cruisers, frigates and destroyers.
