LNG Hybrid Barge HUMMEL and AIDAsol意大利giuliani anello FGDR40过滤稳压阀,意大利调压器
Hamburg now has an environmentally friendly alternative for supplying power to cruise ships lying at port. The LNG Hybrid Barge, Becker Marine Systems’ floating liquefied gas power plant christened at Hafencity, a quarter in the district of Hamburg-Mitte, on Saturday, is a world premiere. The barge is not self-propelled, instead being steered to locations by a natural gas fuelled tug.
Before invited guests, the LNG Hybrid Barge was christened the HUMMEL (“Bumblebee”). The godmother was Dr. Monika Griefahn, Chief Sustainability Officer for AIDA Cruises. “The LNG Hybrid Barge will contribute towards making the air in Hamburg significantly cleaner,” said Dirk Lehmann and Henning Kuhlmann, both Managing Directors of Becker Marine Systems, who developed and will be operating the barge.
Thanks to the use of the floating liquefied power plant, the future cruise ships will be supplied with energy produced from environmentally-friendly liquefied natural gas (LNG) during their layovers at port. This fuel lowers emissions and particulates, compared to marine diesel fuel. Sulphur oxides and soot particles are no longer emitted and the emission of nitrogen oxides will be lowered by up to 80% and carbon dioxide by an additional 30%.
As part of the christening, the first test connection was carried out with AIDA Cruises’ AIDAsol cruise ship. It is planned that starting with the beginning of the next cruise season in spring 2015, the LNG Hybrid Barge will supply AIDAsol as the first cruise ship at its home port Hamburg.
At just under 77 m in length and 11 m in width, the HUMMEL had made a three week trip from the shipyard in Slovakia travelling up the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers and the North Sea to the Elbe, arriving October 4. Remaining work and testing of the first German seagoing vessel employing LNG technology then took place at Blohm + Voss.
Hamburg is thus the first port in the world in which Becker Marine Systems will be able to provide an external and low-emission power supply to cruise ships thanks to the LNG Hybrid Barge.
The Fuel will be supplied by Shell Gasnor, and will loaded to the barge into 2 x 40′ tanks at a Container Terminal near to the quay where the barge is moored. Equipment was supplied by Chart Ferox. A spokesperson for Becker marine told NGV Global News that the company is planning 15 more barges by 2020.
Hamburg-based Hybrid Port Energy was founded by Becker Marine Systems with the objective of supplying environmentally-friendly maritime energy.
