    4 Study of Small Scale LNG Carrier

    Uploaded by

    SangeethRoshan
    This document summarizes a study on designing a small-scale LNG carrier and bunkering ship with a dual-fuel engine. The study was conducted by a group of Japanese shipbuilding and engineering companies. Key findings included: 1) Selecting a dual-fuel engine capable of running on natural gas or marine diesel oil in order to meet Tier III emissions standards without additional equipment. 2) An electrical propulsion system using the dual-fuel engine to power generators and supply propulsion motors. 3) A natural gas fuel supply system using boil-off gas from the LNG cargo tanks, with a small LNG fuel tank for steady supply. 4) Preliminary ship designs including dimensions
