Qatari shipping company Nakilat and Qatari LNG producers Qatargas and RasGas Company Limited have agreed with engine manufacturer MAN Diesel and Turbo to convert a Q-Max vessel to use LNG as an alternative to heavy fuel oil in the main engines. The proactive initiative reinforces Qatar's commitment toward the environment with plans to convert an existing low-speed diesel LNG carrier to use LNG as fuel thereby reducing the ship's exhaust gas emissions. Shipyard operator Nakilat-Keppel Offshore & Marine (N-KOM) will complete the ship's conversion at its Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard facilities in Qatar's Port of Ras Laffan. The modification will utilize MAN Diesel and Turbo's ME-GI (M-Type Electronically Controlled - Gas Injection) systems as an innovative and flexible technology. The Q-Max will be the world's first low-speed marine diesel engine to be converted to use LNG as a fuel. The modification will meet current known and future stated global emissions regulations. The control of greenhouse gas and exhaust gas emissions have a high priority in today's shipping industry. In-step with the emissions regulations, the engine manufacturer, MAN Diesel and Turbo has made technical advancements to the low speed diesel engine to have flexibility to utilize Liquefied Natural Gas ...

Selandia - the first merchant ship to be fitted with diesel engines Lloyd's Register has just clinched another global first with the centenary of Selandia - the first merchant ship to be fitted with diesel engines.LR's Chief Engineer Surveyor J T Milton was on board during the vessel's first epoch-making sea trial in 1912. He reported back to his peers: "The engines worked admirably throughout .... the vessel being manoeuvred from and to her moorings with as much certainty, and as quickly, as an ordinary steam vessel."Although the industry has changed markedly since then with many sophisticated and innovative sources of power, we still owe a huge debt of thanks to the engineers and designers who pioneered that first diesel-powered vessel.Read about this and other breaking news on pages 2 to 7 in the May issue ofHorizons, Lloyd's Register's marine magazine.The near complete hull of SelandiaSource: LR
