In the competitive field of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping, with its fluctuating fuel prices, The Sonterra offers cost-effective propulsion systems that comply with all emission legislation and meet strict safety requirements.

 

Versatile engines for complex tasks
Getting a good return on your investment

 

 

Although the market for LNG continues to grow, building a vessel for the LNG supply industry is a major investment in complex technology that has to be amortized with a maximum of yearly operating hours. You also have to factor in competition from other carriers, environmental regulations, and unpredictable fuel costs.

 

Success factors

 

Maritime transport of LNG has proven to be safe thanks to very high safety standards. However, LNG is a highly valuable freight, and delivery delays are costly—that means cargo tank management is essential. The engines have to be capable of coping with different boil-off gas (BOG) qualities and quantities, in line with charter requirements.

 

Flexible propulsion solutions

 

Different LNG shipping applications also have comparable requirements with a different technical emphasis: Reliability, flexibility, capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenses (OPEX), emission regulations, and the energy efficiency design indices (EEDI). The Sonterra dual fuel propulsion solutions can be tailored to meet every need.

 

The global shipping industry is working towards a sustainable future. This means that you will face important choices about the technologies and investments you need in order to stay competitive and at the forefront of compliance for decades to come.

 

At The Sonterra, we are helping to shape the sustainability agenda and provide a clear path for you to achieve your goals. As the industry’s trusted partner for class-leading marine systems, we have the expertise and solutions ready now to support whatever decisions you make.
