The design is built around a GE gas turbine-based COGES (Combined Gas turbine, Electric and Steam) system that will feature one 25-megawatt gas turbine, one steam turbine generator-set and a heat recovery system including gas combustion unit. The design allows for an extra 4,000 cu m of cargo space in the same size hull.
“With the AiP in hand, customers can feel confident in procuring a COGES-powered LNG carrier through DSIC,” said Brien Bolsinger, vice president, marine operations, GE Marine. “Operational benefits of gas turbines to naval architects, owners and operators include high power in a compact package and design flexibility.”
