MAN to cooperate with gasspecialist
MARITIME INDUSTRY: MAN Diesel & Turbo has reached an agreement with TGE Marine Gas Engineering, specialist in design and construction of cargo-handling systems for cryogenic gases, regarding a future cooperation to offer optimum customer solutions for gas-fuelled ships.
With the imminent arrival of the strict IMO NOx and SOx emission regulations, gas has great potential as a solution to marine fuel requirements. Another factor is the expected, favourable, future trend in gas prices. Aboard ships, natural gas is stored at very low temperatures in liquid state before delivery in gaseous form to the engine for combustion.
The new collaboration targets the technical and commercial adaptation of the sub-systems engine, gas storage & supply plant and control systems. This paves the way for MAN Diesel & Turbo to offer tailor-made solutions that meet customers' specific requirements, guaranteeing maximum performance and avoiding unnecessary investment.
TGE Marine Gas Engineering has 30 years' experience in the engineering and production of cargo-handling and tank systems for LNG, LPG, Ethylene and other gas carriers, as well as FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading units). To date, the company has manufactured over 160 tank systems.
