LNG drawbaks Larger bunker storage on-‐board space: double for LNG than for HFO, triple space in case of dual fuel.
Higher investment cost for newbuildings (10 %to 20%, possibly lower in the future).
Higher maintenance costs (some studies say about 20%).
Trade restric7ons depending on availability of bunkering infrastructure.
Second hand ship market value (?)
Time being, lack of binding IMO regula7on (to be solved soon)
LNG drawbaks Higher investment costs AddiDonal costs for a newbuilding:
Fuel storage tanks Gas engine Safety systems
Approval Building costs differenDal:
Marintek: Ro-‐Pax 35,000 GT: +10%
Is universal conversion feasible?
Technically surely YES
Economically, indeed NO, depending on:
Ship’s age (remaining operaDng life up to recycling)
Trade (% Dme in ECAs)
Ship type, bunker costs share in total costs (funcDon of speed)
Retrofiing Main technical elements
Engine change or adapta7on: Easier and less expensive in ships with ME (electronic controlled) engines
LNG storage on board: Two main opDons: inside hull or on deck.
Vaccum/perlite insulated tanks at about 10 bar.
greenship.org ECA retrofit study
Large consorDum: Maersk, DSA, Man, LRS, DNV, etc.
2 retrofit soluDons compared: scrubber and LNG 2 scenarios: 2015-‐2019 and 2020-‐2024 Ship analyzed: 38,500 dwt products tanker
greenship.org ECA retrofit study
Conclusions: Investment cost of the LNG soluDon: 7.56 mUSD (including 40 days off-‐hire: 0.68 mUSD)
LNG soluDon 1.7 mUSD more expensive than scrubber
LNG soluDon payback period of 3 years for 100% operaDon in ECA
Retrofiing First Experience (2011) Bit Viking: 25.000 dwt product tanker Conversion of 2 engines from Wärsilä 46 to Wärsilä 50 DF (dual) with 2 x 5700 kW at 500 rpm
Wärtsilä’s new LNGPac onboard storage system: 2 x 500 m3 C type (cilindrical presurized) storage tanks at 9 bar isolated by perlite/ vacuum, mounted on the deck, 400 t each tank (full). 33 x 7,5 m
Bunkering LNG rate: 430 m3 / hour (less than 2,5 h). Sufficient for 12 days of autonomous operaDon at 80 % load, with the opDon of switching to MGO if an extended range is required.
When in EU ports (0.1 % sulphur limit), the vessel operates on gas. Retrofinng duraDon: 6 weeks.

LNG Bunkering supply infrastructure 4 possibili7es Based on Danish MariDme AdministraDon study

TPS TTS
ECSA LNG Fuelled Ships Working Group Conclusions High interest. Many papers just in the last 12 months.
Numerous but fragmented ongoing iniDaDves. In the EU, EMSA is playing an useful co-‐ordinaDng role.
An internaDonal LNG quality standard should be developed and be fully respected by suppliers.
In the meanDme, EU/EMSA Guidelines/Guidance could be helpful.
Ships using LNG as bunker should have the same (high) safety level than LNG carriers.
Availability of Public (State or EU) support to pilot projects essenDal. Some industry forum/body should consider all aspects of LNG bunkering (safety, economics, etc.)
Conclusions Environmental aspects LNG has significant environmental advantages with regard to: NOx: 80% lower emissions
SOx: Virtually no emissions PM: Virtually no emissions CO2: 25% lower emissions
All basic technology elements necessary for engine conversion and for on board storing are available and proved.
First key-‐in-‐hand on-‐board storing solu7ons already available. Safety:
Normally no higher risk with LNG. IMO specific regulaDons are s7ll under way.
Some safety procedures for bunkering operaDons are sDll to be developed.
Retrofiing:
Technically viable in most cases. Easier and less expensive in ships with ME engines
Conclusions Technical aspects
Conclusions Economic aspects The LNG soluDon is very aTracDve for newbuildings in medium/ long term.
A high % of operaDon inside ECA is key But retrofinng can also be economically aTracDve in some special cases (e.g. high speed craps).
Conclusions Infrastructure development • Partnerships (shipowner, LNG and equipment suppliers, port) are key for development of LNG supply infrastructure.
• Bunkering infrastructure developing should start based on regular services operaDng 100% in ECAs.
• SSS and Motorways of the Sea lines could be the starDng point.
• Possible use of EU TEN-‐T funds for developing the bunkering net?
Conclusions, DNV Study
For 2020, about 1,000 ships will be fuelled by pure LNG or dual LNG/HFO
About 10/15% of expected newbuildings
