HJSC has successfully developed the LNG bunkering vessel model of 7,500m3 class, a vessel supplying LNG on the sea and acquired the Approval in Principle from Lloyd’s Register.
According to the company, the LNG bunkering vessel can fuel LNG of 7,500m3 at once, using two independent pressure-type LNG tanks certified by International Maritime Organization. Controllability and sailing efficiency are also secured by dual fuel system(LNG/MGO Dual fuel).
The LNG bunkering vessel is the new model following the LNG bunkering vessel of 5,100m3 class ordered by NYK, Japan in 2014. The LNG-powered vessel generally receives LNG from the inland LNG tank. It can directly receive LNG on the sea using the bunkering vessel without the need for docking. It’s the reason why the LNG bunkering vessel is called ‘floating gas station on the sea’.
HJSC developed the bunkering vessel ‘without ballast water’ enabling a vessel to sail without drawing or discharging ballast water in order to prevent marine ecosystem to be disturbed by ballast water used by a vessel (sea water filling a tank to keep the center of gravity of a vessel).
HJSC will secure the super gap competitiveness in the market by constructing the eco-vessels as well as developing the technologies which can realize zero carbon

Methanol
HJSC has been enhancing its reliability by accumulating the eco-friendly shipbuilding technologies for the next generation in the market including Methanol Ready applied to the container vessel of 5,500TEU class(vessel which can use methanol as fuel in the future) which was already developed and LNG dual fuel technology applied to the container vessel of 7,700TEU class. HJSC has received the order for 3 methanol-powered container vessels of 9,000TEU class from HMM last Feb.
