Timelapse of LNG Powered AIDAnova Cruise Ship construction. The LNG-powered AIDAnova cruise ship was a groundbreaking project in the shipbuilding industry, marking the first time a passenger vessel of its size and complexity was fueled entirely by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Construction of the AIDAnova began in 2017 at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, and the ship was delivered in 2018. Building a vessel of this size and complexity presented significant challenges for Meyer Werft, particularly in terms of its LNG propulsion system. LNG is a cleaner-burning fuel than traditional marine diesel, but it requires specialized handling and storage infrastructure. Meyer Werft had to construct a dedicated LNG storage tank and associated infrastructure at the shipyard to accommodate the AIDAnova's fuel requirements. #engineering #cruiseship #navy #marine #maritime #shipbuilding #vessel #vessels
