World premiere of new LNG fuel tank container

Marine Service GMBH, a Hamburg based marine consultancy with specialist expertise in handling and transport of liquefied gases (LNG; LEG; LPG). chemicals and petroleum gases, provides the full spectrum of marine consultancy services for the design and development of any kind of shipping projects.
The company offers now the worldwide first and cost-effective as well as easy to implement tank solution for ships which should be converted to LNG: the LNG Fuel Tank Container. Having the size of a mobile 40 feet standard container (FEU) with a content of 40qm³, it’s an economical solution to bunker LNG and to supply the drive system with natural gas.
“Particularly with regard to the more stringent exhaust emission requirements in the ECAs starting 2015 the LNG Fuel Tank Container can be a real option for shipping companies to convert older types of ships to LNG fuel, which means that they can still be used in sheltered waters”, says Jörg Redlin, Director Marketing & LNG division at the engineering office for maritime economy, which has been active in the LNG market worldwide for nearly 50 years. The LNG Fuel Tank Container can be transported by truck and stored on deck like any normal container. In addition it offers a direct connection for the supply of the drive system. Bureau Veritas approved the fuel gas system already in July 2011.
