石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站3月12日消息 由日本邮船株式会社(NYK)和瑞典华伦轮船公司共同所有的联合欧洲汽车运输公司(UECC)已与中国江南造船集团签订了建造两个电池混合型液化天然气滚装船(PCTCs)的合同。
UECC周二表示,新造船合同还可选择另外两艘船只,第一艘船只计划于2021年交付。
电池混合液化天然气解决方案将使UECC在2030年前达到国际海事组织(IMO)碳强度降低40%的目标。
这些船只总长169米,宽度28米,载车容量为3600辆,共有10个货甲板,其中2个甲板可升降。
这些船只将配备四分之一安全工作负荷为160公吨的坡道和一个安全工作负荷为20公吨的侧坡道,并且可以容纳高达5.2米的货物。
这些船只将满足从2021年开始生效的波罗的海和北海三级IMO氮氧化物排放标准。在2021年二氧化碳减排规定方面,船舶还将配备双燃料液化天然气发动机,用于主要推进和辅助设备。
随着越来越多的生物燃料将在未来投入商业使用,UECC还打算将碳中性燃料和合成燃料作为未来燃料组合的一部分。
UECC的首席执行官Glenn Edvardsen说,“从长远来看,在我们的战略中,这就是为什么我们要在新船上采用电池混合液化天然气燃料解决方案的原因。”

UECC orders battery hybrid LNG car carriers
United European Car Carriers (UECC), jointly owned by Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and Wallenius Lines, has signed a contract to construct two battery hybrid LNG PCTCs with China Ship Building Trading and Jiangnan Shipyard Group.
The newbuilding contract also has options for two additional vessels, and the first vessel is planned for delivery in 2021, UECC said on Tuesday.
The battery hybrid LNG solution which will place UECC beyond IMO’s target for a 40 percent reduction in carbon intensity by 2030.
The vessels will have a length overall of 169 meters, a width of 28 meters and a car carrying capacity of 3 600 units on 10 cargo decks, of which 2 decks are hoistable.
The vessels will have a quarter ramp of 160 metric tons safe working load and a side ramp of 20 metric tons safe working load and can accommodate cargo units up to 5.2 meters high.
The vessels will meet the Tier 3 IMO NOx emission limitations coming into force the Baltic and the North Sea from 2021. In respect of the 2021 CO2 reduction regulations, the vessels will also be equipped with dual-fuel LNG engines for main propulsion and auxiliaries.
As more biofuels are set to become commercially available in the future, UECC aims to also use carbon neutral and synthetic fuels as part of our future fuel mix.
“In our strategy, we take a long-term view,” UECC’s CEO, Glenn Edvardsen said, “and that’s why we go for a battery hybrid LNG fuel solution on our newbuildings.”
