The construction is currently on going with estimated delivery within 2020 fiscal year.
The vessel is equipped with a dual-fuel diesel engine (Mitsui MAN B&W ME-GI), and the fuel gas supply system (FGSS) engineered by TGE Marine Gas Engineering GmbH of Mitsui E&S Group. The FGSS is composed of an LNG fuel tank and a high-pressure pump. The LNG fuel tank on the vessel is an independent Type C tank, which allows the design pressure to be set higher than other types of LNG fuel tanks. Because the boiling point of methane which is the main component of LNG is -161.5?, LNG is constantly vaporised due to heat input from outside of the tank. Therefore the tank pressure is increased by the vaporised gas inside of the tank. The Type C independent tank allows vaporised gas to be kept in the tank for a relatively longer period of time.
