  Worldwide sourcing and distribution of LNG has grown into a major industry player while seeking to balance the growing global appetite for affordable energy with environmental concerns.  MAN Turbo and Diesel created an infographic regarding LNG shipping which is a booming market, driving growth at every stage of the process chain. Lower emissions Natural gas burns far cleaner than other fossil fuels do, producing 30% less carbon dioxide than petroleum and 45% less than coal, as well as significantly lower levels of sulfur and nitrogen oxides. “Natural gas and air are mixed before entering the combustion chamber and ignited via a small quantity of injected MDO/MGO pilot fuel. The combustion process according to the Otto-cycle ensures the lowest nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions when operating in gas mode, which are lower than projected future emission limits. For the sake of fuel flexibility, the engine can operate alternatively in liquid mode, where fuel oil is injected via conventional main pumps as in the 48/60B HFO engine,” explains Dietmar Zutt, Head of Sales Merchant Marine at MAN Diesel & Turbo. A booming market The booming LNG market is driving more than ship production, however. There is significant growth and investment at every stage ...

  New ships built in 2013 were on average 10% less fuel efficient than those built in 1990, according to a new study commissioned by Seas At Risk and Transport and Environment. The study shows that container ships built 30 years ago already, on average, beat the so-called ‘Energy Efficiency Design Index’ standard that the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has set for new ships built in 2020. The standard is up for review next month. This first ever study of the historical development of the design efficiency of new ships, commissioned by Seas At Risk and Transport & Environment, finds that bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships built in 2013 were on average 12, 8 and 8% less fuel efficient than those built in 1990, a quarter of a century ago. The findings contradict claims that shipping has been constantly improving its environmental performance. They also demonstrate that market forces by themselves don’t result in more fuel efficient ships being built. Oil prices in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the time when new ships were historically most fuel efficient, were around a quarter of the levels seen in the 2008-2013 period (ca $25 vs $100 per barrel, in today’s ...

Knarr is BG Group’s first floating vessel development in the North Sea. It will deliver vital resources to the European energy market. The company has announched that Petrojarl Knarr floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel  started production from the Knarr oil field in the North Sea, offshore Norway. The FPSO has been leased from Teekay Corporation and is moored approximately 120 kilometres off the Norwegian coast. It has a production capacity of 63 000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and a storage capacity of 800 000 barrels. The Knarr field, discovered in 2008, has estimated gross recoverable reserves of around 80 million barrels of oil equivalent with a production life of at least ten years.  Source: BG GroupIn the outbreak, I was open with you propecia before and after has changed my being.
