GVU

Dual-Fuel The Preferred Ship Solution


Redundancy, backup without interruptions in power or speed. Able to operate on liquid fuel outside ECA-areas Simple system, no PTI/take me home or double gas system needed. DP class fulfilled with single tank/gas supply system Operational flexibility - Vessel re-routing possible, gas supply not a limitation

DF mechanical propulsion
Operational Experience The vessel is able to run constantly and continuously in gas mode LNG bunkering every second week or less Constant load cycles due to heavy sea state sailing in Norwegian waters. Engine performance has never been a limitation for vessel operations Load variations between 37% and 83% MCR in 8 seconds Average load 65% MCR with 79% Propeller Pitch Highest wind speed encountered 25 m/s
