Spain-based engineering group SENER is all set to unveil its new design for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering vessel.
The company proposes to use this new technology in its own activities, and has embarked upon a research project to design an LNG-powered vessel, as well as an accompanying unit to supply these vessels with fuel.

SENER stated that using LNG as a fuel source will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, in addition to almost completely eliminating sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrous oxide (N2), and other polluting particles.
Because of this, it is hoped LNG will become a popular solution for shipping organisations looking to be more conscious of their carbon footprint.
The company’s latest design will be available in two ship versions; with the first being 114.8m in length and 20.4m breadth, comprising a bunkering capacity of 8,000m³ and a maximum continuous rating (MCR) of 6,000kW, carrying two bunkering tanks.
