China’s Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering (NACKS) and London-based Lloyd’s Register informed they have developed a new dual-fuelled multi-purpose vessel (MPV) design.

The main engine is a MAN ME-GI high-pressure gas fuel system while the main electrical generator and boiler are in a low-pressure gas fuel system, according to the statement.
