The vessel owned by Furetank Rederi will have its MaK M 43 C diesel engine retrofitted in the hull to a 7 cylinder M 46 dual fuel platform. Caterpillar will also be supplying the complete gas system for the tanker including two LNG tanks 4.15 m by 24 m. The engine is designed for unlimited operation on LNG, marine diesel oil and heavy fuel oil.
It is the second MaK engine dual fuel retrofit following the Coral Anthelia LNG tanker owned by Anthony Veder last year.
“We have a market-ready technology available that our commercial marine customers can be completely confident in and after our success onboard the Coral Anthelia, we have seen the demand for MaK dual fuel solutions increase substantially,” commented Finn Vogler, Caterpillar Marine senior engineer
