LNG Powered, Carrying LNG MEYER WERFT DELIVERS ECO-FRIENDLY TANKER CORAL ENERGY TO ANTHONY VEDER On 7th of December, Her Royal Highness Princess Máxima named Coral Energy, a brand new small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier of the Dutch ship owner Anthony Veder. The ceremony was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and it was not a christening of just any ship. Coral Energy will transport LNG for Skangass, Anthony Veder’s Norwegian charterer of the vessel, while being powered by LNG herself. 26 seatec 1/<strong>2013</strong>

In addition, the ship has a dual-fuel engine that is directly driving the propeller, increasing the fuel efficiency of the vessel and making her one of the cleanest vessels available today. The vessel’s CO 2 emissions will be reduced by more than 15 %, and, in addition, the emissions of NOx, SOx and small particles will be reduced significantly. The vessel will distribute LNG to areas where there is no easy access to natural gas via pipeline, but where there is a clear demand and drive for clean energy. Coral Energy will load the LNG in Rotterdam, Zeebrugge and Norway and transport it to Sweden for the city of Stockholm, amongst other places. The vessel has the highest ice class 1A for trading in the Baltic Sea during winter. DUAL-FUEL DELIVERY It is the first ship equipped with eco-friendly Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel main engine, and a pair of Wärtsilä 20DF dual-fuel aux- iliary engines. The DF engines will be run mostly on LNG, but have the capability of being switched to diesel fuel if and when required. The development of the ship was started in 2010, as Skangass was looking for a small to medium scale LNG carrier for its Scandinavian operations. The suitable vessel size, depending on the plant and terminal demands, was determined after a process of logistical optimisation.
