據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)8月9日消息 日本液化石油氣貿(mào)易商和進(jìn)口商Astomos能源公司宣布，將于本月晚些時(shí)候啟用液化石油氣（LPG）動(dòng)力的超大型燃?xì)獯╒LGC）。
該船由同胞造船廠川崎重工（KHI）在其Sakaide造船廠建造。新加坡船東Kumiai Navigation將為Astomos運(yùn)營(yíng)84229立方米的VLGC。
該船長(zhǎng)299米，寬37.2米，將配備KHI的雙燃料液化石油氣發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，可使用加壓液化石油氣和燃油。
該公司指出，與燃油相比，液化石油氣作為燃料預(yù)計(jì)將減少約20%的二氧化碳排放量，以及約90%的硫氧化物和顆粒物。
為了響應(yīng)國(guó)際海事組織2050年零排放目標(biāo)，Astomos幾年來(lái)一直在考慮將液化石油氣燃料油輪引入其VLGC船隊(duì)。
該公司指出：“我們將繼續(xù)從重油船舶轉(zhuǎn)向液化石油氣燃料船舶，作為可能的解決方案之一，并促進(jìn)其他環(huán)保船隊(duì)的發(fā)展。”
最近，該公司簽署了一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，從石油巨頭殼牌公司購(gòu)買碳中和液化石油氣。

Japan’s first LPG-fuelled VLGC soon to enter service
Japanese LPG trader and importer Astomos Energy Corporation has announced that it will bring the liquified petroleum gas (LPG)-powered very large gas carrier (VLGC) into operation later this month.
The vessel is being built by compatriot shipbuilder Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) at its Sakaide shipyard. Singapore-based shipowner Kumiai Navigation will operate the 84,229 cbm VLGC for Astomos.
The ship is 299 meters long, 37.2 meters wide and will be equipped with KHI’s dual-fuel LPG engine which can run on both pressurized LPG and fuel oil.
LPG as a fuel is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by about 20%, and sulfur oxides, particulate matter by about 90% in comparison with fuel oil, the company noted.
Astomos has been considering introducing LPG-fueled tankers into its VLGC fleet for a few years, in response to the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 zero-emission targets.
“We will continue to switch from heavy oil vessels to LPG-fuelled vessels as one of the possible solutions and promote other environmentally friendly fleet development,” the company pointed out.
Recently, the company signed an agreement to purchase carbon-neutral LPG from oil major Shell.
