📍#LNGShipbuilding📍 ✅ #MOL and #Chevron have signed an agreement 🤝 to install Wind Challenger 🌪, a hard sail wind-assisted ship propulsion system, on a newbuild LNG carrier. The vessel is said to be the world’s LNG carrier 🥇 to be equipped with a wind-assisted ship propulsion system. ✅ The 174,000 cubic meter vessel 💧, chartered by Chevron Asia Pacific Shipping, is under construction at Hanwha Ocean’s Geoje Shipyard 🏗 and is scheduled for delivery in 2026 🎊. ✅ According to MOL, the Wind Challenger will help reduce fuel consumption 🔥 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by using its unique telescopic sails 💭. ✅ The installation position of the Wind Challenger aims to minimize 📉 the impact on the existing design of membrane-type LNG carriers. It will enable the retention of the existing mooring arrangement unchanged 🎯 and thereby minimize impacts on ship shore compatibility 💡, together with limited impact on the vessel’s windage area. 📌 Source : Offshore Energy #lng #lngindustry #lngshipping #lngbunkering #gtt #mossdesign #naturalgas #shipping

📍#LNGShipbuilding 📍 ✅ Swiss marine power company #WinGD is expecting to secure 🤝 the majority of dual-fuel engine 🏭 orders for LNG carriers being built in the second phase 🏗 of #QatarEnergy’s newbuilding project. ✅ With initial engine and technical specifications confirmed 🤝 for nearly #half of the orders in the second round, WinGD’s X-DF 2.0 engines 🏭 are already the preferred choice 🏆 to be installed on most vessels. ✅ The early support for WinGD’s latest X-DF technologies follows strong orders in the initial phase of newbuilding 🏗 last year when shipowners chartering to QatarEnergy ordered 2️⃣5️⃣ vessels powered by the low-pressure, dual-fuel two-stroke engines 🏭. 📌 Source : Offshore Energy #lng #lngindustry #lngshipping #maritime #accidentinvestigation #safety #management

Choosing methane as a fuel was one of the smartest things Elon could have done for his Starship rocket. He likely knows fully well what the Merlin engines look like after a launch and alternatively can see how incredibly clean methane burns. That's good for the gear. There are a whole slew of other reasons why this was a good idea but there still is one problem that awaits solution. Once Starships want to lift off every week or more often, Starbase will need hundreds of LNG truckloads to refill the tank base every day. But Starbase is situated right at the end of the Intercoastal Channel in Brownsville and hence, all LNG production capacity on the USGC could be at his disposal if he had the right kind of transport. Barging LNG, new but not challenging. Use what you have. https://lnkd.in/d3zqiZVh
