The ship named Tenere will be chartered by CMA CGM that is also building<\/a> a series of giant LNG-fueled vessels.<\/p>\n

The French firm will charter all of the six 15,000 TEU vessels scheduled for delivery from Hyundai Samho by 2022.<\/p>\n

Each of the 366 meters long vessels will feature MAN B&W 11G90 ME-GI main engines.<\/p>\n

Germany’s MAN Energy Solutions says these ME-GI engines have “negligible” methane-slip and are first to feature new pump vaporizer unit.<\/p>\n

The two-stroke engines can operate both on gas or diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, MAN says that these are the largest and most powerful gas engines it has produced to date. They have a maximum power rating of 68,640 kW.<\/p>\n

EPS chief Cyril Ducau<\/strong> said the on-schedule delivery of the new vessel makes for an important MAN and EPS milestone.<\/p>\n

He noted that the firm committed to investing in alternative fuels such as LNG three years ago in a move to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n

“These vessels will be IMO 2030 compliant years ahead of schedule and will be the cleanest vessels of their category on-the-water today,” Ducau said.<\/p>\n
