Classification society ABS, shipbuilder Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding (HZS) and technology company Wärtsilä have partnered up to develop “a flexible, future-ready and modular” concept for a future multi-fuel electric liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC).
Using advanced multi-physics modeling and simulation, the joint development project (JDP) will apply various decarbonization technologies and solutions to the vessel design and operation models to investigate its performance against the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) up to at least 2050 .
